week 2 - flashes

week 2 classes we did revision on setting up and using monoblocs as well as speedlights for location and portable studio based lighting. We split off into groups and took 2 photos, one using monoblocs and one using speedlites, or a combination of both.

Photo - MEL
Shot using 1 Canon 580EX II and 2 canon 430EX II speedlights - shot outside
Shot at F5.6 (light meter)

Photo - ME
Shot using monoblocs + speedlites
Shot at F8 (light meter)

Photo - NICOLE
Shot using 1 speedlite in hand
Shot at F6.3
Shot funky moody shot for the hell of it

From experience we found that the speedlight while being highly portable and cheaper, just cant produce the amount of light need of a mono n harder to set up in terms of getting the light right, and also suffer slow recycling times. The monoblocs are bulkier and more expensive, but there good, its much easier to get the light right and recycling times are much quicker and able to produce 10x more the amount of light.

Week 1 - DSLRs
