oldfashioned

the matter should be clear after you put it under a different perspective. I understand the need to do "something" to make a speedlite less brutal when the speedlite is the only source and you move ...

Bob, the correct question is not if a softbox diffuses (it does not, not even close) but what kind of material on a scrim produces a decent diffusion and a decent softness a bare strobe and a scrim ...

don't confuse powercut with the shadows. They are two different things. wanna try? cut the power on the strobe and see what happens to the shadows then put a scrim closer to the target and look at ...

they don't . You are confusing powercut with diffusion.

I second uncle dunc about the dual pixel AF being the best right now My 2c here is based on a real story, happened a month ago and it's about live streaming with a JVC-HM200 and a soccer game ...

there will be no practical difference with and without the diffusers. Only intensity difference (basically diffusers cut the power for no reason other than making the eyes of the models/actors ...

you are correct about my job: I answer to the DP but in reality they don't talk to me at all. The directors don't even know my name and my consultation stays between the production and the first ...

yeah and it can also be measured , seriously https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzxthju_iZE this guy (Matt) is a genius. a little too "immerse" into the skypanels -brand- (not my first choice for a ...

LOL a scrim? You are making this sooo easy. For how long are you using artificial lights the wrong way? like the lee guy after decades coming up all surprised about light getting in his viewfinder ...

your understanding of of what a softbox is is completely wrong they keep the beam straight, but they still spill (barndoors spill less) they give a nice flat surface to use as a background? like a ...

no it doesn't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XZwac18718 see that? embarrassing , isn't it? oh please LOL I''ll have to frame Alex's words at the end. I couldn't say it better.

giant squid, hands down no question. will cost nothing and sounds like heaven

they are actually to be .... rented. LOL oh my....

LOL it looks like you have no idea. you're out of this discussion for others I'll add few notes abut LED panels for mixed sets: arri sky = diffusion (needs scrims) temperature below 4000K (precise ...

kino , definitely I am a lighting consultant for motion , mainly advertising and TV studios kino celeb, LEDs appear to magically diffuse enough even bare. the covers that you see are for making the ...

a wall is a good way to check the spread, assuming that you need to know for some reason to check the diffusion a face or a reflective object is a good way to check the shadows you place the strobe ...

I predict that you'll see the light after watching the video

the fact that a softbox doesn't diffuse is a fact, you can watch the video or watch the pictures. That's how it works

I couldn't care less of taking pictures of walls again watch the video

watch the video Alex koloskov used 2 softboxes first then 2 softboxes with 2 panels (closer to the target) then grids on the strobes and panels (no softboxes) look at that... the explanation as of ...
