Earlier this week I ordered a cheap 160-LED shoe-mount "video light" to get my feet wet. Received it yesterday and it has already proven to be a very useful tool.
I stuck it on a micro-tripod this morning and illuminated subjects that were only lit on the opposite side by a distant north-facing window. Even after 30 minutes of playing around with the light, the batteries were still showing 3 bars (out of 4). For about $80 (Can) I can see I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. It's great having constant light so you can see the effects of moving it around. Turned up it's blindingly bright to look straight at and it can very brightly light a large portion of a wall. I must try it in a reflective umbrella. http://goo.gl/Hi2jK [Allergy Warning: ~ 60% cat content] K20D, DA* 55/1.4, f/2.2, 1/100s, ISO 400 CN-160 LED video light http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004VC8M3K Rating: Two paws up. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
