Introduction to using strobes

1.There are two kinds of power packs: symmetric power packs and asymmetric power packs.

2.The most common types of light modifiers are umbrellas and soft boxes.

3.Stands and grips are used to support your light sources, strobes, and even light modifiers or backdrops.

4.Monolights, on the other hand, are compact substitutes for a power pack/flash head combinations. Their size limits their power, but they are often desired for their portability.

5.If you’re shooting outdoors or with complicated modifier setups, you are going to need a lot of power to overcome the sun or the light loss caused by the modifiers.

6. White umbrellas offer a wider spread of reflected light, and gold umbrellas produce a warm tone.

7.Softboxes on the other hand are usually square or rectangular. They are lightweight boxes that come with a reflective inside and a translucent front.

8.Most strobe lights allow you to completely remove the reflector and attach different kinds of light modifiers.

9.Snoots are conical shaped tools that narrow the distribution of light. These can be used to produce a very focused, harsh light.

10.Whichever path you take and whichever brands you choose when building or expanding your lighting setup, be sure you get the best quality for your budget. Also, choosing items with widely available accessories and parts will help you out later.

Jpeg vs Raw

  1. A raw file is an unprocessed image file that contains all the data captured by the camera’s sensor, it preserves more details, colors, and dynamic range, giving you greater flexibility in post-processing. A JPEG file is a compressed image format that sacrifices some image quality and data to reduce file size.
  2. Raw files are bigger than JPEG files because they contain more data. Raw files store all the information captured by the camera’s sensor, resulting in larger file sizes.
  3. Yes, you can convert a raw file to a JPEG file on your computer. Many photo editing software programs, like Adobe lightroom or Photoshop, allows you to export or save a raw file as a JPEG.
  4. If i were shooting an important event, I would choose to shoot in raw format. Shooting in raw during post-processing. It allows me to adjust exposure, white balance, and other settings without losing as much image quality.
