Re: About Studio Lighting kinds
The production studio I worked with last year used 3200K balanced
florescent tubes for everything. Didn't see a real tungsten light
anywhere. The lights ran much cooler. I'm pretty sure that even small
studio photographic lighting will be going that route eventually. I
don't think it's the best idea, but it is what will happen.
Second year Commercial students get to work with those and the newer
Speedotrons.
Second year Portrait students get to work with Photogenics & older
Speedotrons.
Second year Photojourn students work with Vivitar 285s and dedicated
speed-lights (if they can afford them).
I don't know what the second year Bio-Com students do.
First year students get to work with REALLY OLD Studio Hot Lights, and I
mean HOT, HOT, HOT - gloves & hot pads mandatory. The stuff you see in
old Hollywood movie stills.
Although, they do get introduced to some Speedotrons, Photogenics &
Alien Bees during Summer Semester just before second year begins. We
also used Vivitar 285s & dedicated speed lights (if you could afford them).
Second year students can also use hot lights if they want to, as long as
they don't deprive the first year students.
The only real problem I see is that mixed color temperature lights are a
BITCH when you're shooting digital, e.g. adding a green gel to the flash
& shooting through a magenta filter to balance fluorescent light to
daylight didn't work as well as it did on film (one of the advantages of
having to repeat a class after a 4 year break).
