well the other 2 sites i listed, though you have to register, have forums. on the cinematography.net you'll find archived and current messages full of lighting ideas. as for using certain equipment, if you post on their forum you'll get answers. this is more of an editing forum. out of the 3000+ members how many do you think know lighting? now on those 2 cinematography sites, it's a near 100% knowledge of lighting because that's what cinematographers do - work with light in capturing an image. i don't want to make it sound like you're in the wrong place, but out of the few people here that do weddings...over on the cinematography sites you'd be asking 100% of the group who know lighting and i mean they know lighting. the only other place that might know more is a "gaffer" forum. :-)
this i will share from my own experience though. "work lights" are great. plus they are inexpensive. however they do get hot and have a yellow cast. you'd get a 500 watt light anywhere from $10 to $30. now to lessen the yellow cast, you can hang either wax paper, butcher paper or even buy Gels to make whatever color you want. other than that i've built some lighting set-ups and installed "daylight" bulbs. love those things...if you haven't used them what are you waiting for the light is great. but if you want to get the big boys toys then check those sites, but before you buy a lot of stuff. plan. know how much light you need. what kind of color? how much shadow? how hard or soft is the light? what's the placement? because 1K lights and small children do not mix. --- In [email protected], Cable Guy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply. I do frequent B&H's site quite often and have studied their selection of lights. They have plenty to pick from and many seem to be reasonably priced. I just don't have a clue which one would be appropriate for what I do, which is occasionally shoot receptions and weddings where there is not adequate lighting. I'm hopeful someone out there does similar work and has a specific model that they can recommend. > > Thanks again to everyone for all of the input I've received from the group.
