Misinformation: Lighting Tech

Misinformation: Lighting Tech

In a time when fewer pros have their own studio space, a compact lighting system can give you the options and versatility to get the job done anywhere

In an economic slowdown, photographers look to cut costs as much as possible. In many cases, this has meant eliminating the studio and a lot of the expensive gear that often sits around taking up space in said studio. Thankfully, eliminating the studio, and therefore studio lighting, doesn’t really mean that your lighting possibilities are limited.

The simplest light source, the flash, isn’t just for event photography anymore. Canon and Nikon and most other camera manufacturers are offering a selection of flashes that can compete with studio lights in terms of features and ease of placement. What these flashes lack in sheer power, they make up for in versatility. Canon’s top-of-the-line Speedlite 580EX II can configure and program up to three sets of unlimited Speedlite 580EX II or 430EX II flashes wirelessly. Nikon’s flagship SB-900 AF Speedlight also can work as a wireless Commander, able to control up to three remote Speedlight groups with an unlimited amount of compatible Speedlights. Imagine what you could do with a whole case of flashes like these. The potential is incredible.

Additionally, third-party companies like Metz, Quantum Instruments and Sunpak also offer “run-and-gun” solutions from flashes to ring lights, and they come at more affordable pricing points. Many models feature TTL operation with Canon and Nikon systems, as well as TTL compatibility with Fuji, Olympus, Sony and most of the majors.

Flashes aren’t the only option when it comes to portability. A great power supply matched up with a couple of quality lamps from any number of the well-known lighting companies, including Bowens, Broncolor, Dynalite, Elinchrom, Lowel, Profoto and others, often can be the only kit you’ll need if you take the time to learn and master your light. Also, monolights, which have the power source built into the lighthead, are reasonably powerful and also reasonably compact. Digital photography has been a boon for all professionals. When it comes to lighting equipment, it has meant more efficient and hence more compact systems that also are able to produce more powerful and more portable light sources.

Limited resources can hone your talents and sometimes generate the added benefit of forcing you to trim the fat. When the shoots aren’t coming in, eBay can start to look pretty attractive, especially when so many lighting setups are bought for a particular need and then sit around collecting dust just in case you might possibly use them again. None of this is to say that one setup will provide you with a solution for every possibility. For the most part, however, a large Pelican case of carefully chosen gear will cover the bases for most of your shooting situations and allow you to improvise in more difficult ones. Necessity is the mother of invention, after all.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3

Advances image quality and workflow flexibility


 - Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the immediate availability of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 software for Windows and Macintosh, the essential digital photography workflow solution that allows photographers to quickly organize, enhance and showcase their images from one application. First released as a public beta in October 2009, the final version of Lightroom 3 introduces a completely redesigned performance architecture that better handles growing image libraries and provides an unrivaled raw processing engine with noise reduction and sharpening tools to achieve the highest image quality. The 64-bit capable Lightroom 3 includes new features that optimize workflows and allow images to be shared in creative ways, including support for DSLR video files and tethered shooting on select cameras.
"There have been over 600,000 downloads of the Light room 3 public beta, which has supplied us with a huge amount of valuable feedback from a passionate community of professional and advanced amateur photographers," said Kevin Connor, vice president of product management for Digital Imaging at Adobe. "The open dialog we have with our customers allows us to further improve Light room and provide the best tools they need to produce high-quality images. We're happy to see that so many people are anxiously anticipating the final release, so they can start taking advantage of all the new features they had a hand in developing."
Public Beta Process Perfects Light room 3 New Features
Re-built from its core to be lightening fast and responsive, Light room 3 adds power throughout the application to provide a fluid experience for photographers. Images load almost instantaneously, and the import experience has been redesigned to be more intuitive, with added previews and default selections that give users quick access to sort through and find images. Helping streamline and adapt to photographers' changing work flows, Light room 3 now allows users to import and manage DSLR video files, as well as take advantage of tethered shooting for select Nikon and Canon cameras.
Light room 3 Expands Image Showcasing
Output options have also been enhanced in this release, with new capabilities to publish collections on online sharing sites. Flickr users have the ability to synch their accounts to Ligh troom with one click, and integration with additional online photo sharing sites can be added via third-party plug-ins. Customizable print layouts provide more refined control over how photographers present final images, and new watermarking features with options to modify text, size, location and style, help give professionals and amateurs flexibility for branding images. Light room 3 now also includes the ability to export polished slide shows as video files with the option to add audio and title screens.www.adobe.com/store,
