well, modern LED flashlights offer some benefist over warm tungsteen lights for that kind of work

- They are closer to daylight (infact that was the camera setting)
- hey produce no heat
- they have a concetrated neam substituting the very specific spot photographic lights
- they are of adjustable brigntness saving you the trouble of moving the projectors far back to decrease light on subject. Especially when sdpaces are tight.

I am expecting some bike handlebar holders from KD to put on the photo lights tripod instead....

BYw I would have already atken another pic but I have a cold developing so it is bedtime only this weekend....

enjoy, kostas

Re: Sharing a Pic

well guys here they are fresh and hot of the PC....

(but I am not that crazy about them, have a lot way to go, though it today I tried an overhead lighting solution in one of them that was a first and a success)

Enjoy.....









My favorite of them is the 4th one (the dark blue tinted one)

Lighting was varying but the general setup was: An Osram Neon lantern under the flashlight & batts (they rested in a piece of glass). a Huntlight Lux III was used to light the background, a Rex 2.0 for the main light, and a L0D-CE for the accending backlight. Background was my black fleece jacket.

Please feedback and critisism is expected by the more apt in product photography...This may be an ongoing educating project for me...

thanks all....Kostas

Well the article is almost finished. It is a TacticaL Flashlight overview for a Greek military mag, called "Katadromi" (Commando Assault). Will be out possibly December...I have been off the mag for more than a year and CPF is the culprit! Now I am taking lost time off my readers back with another theme! (And a follow up on Flashlight tactics nexzt trimester)

Anyway...for those to know camera was a Pentax K-10D set as aRGB, AV, Raw+, Daylight WB, iso 200-800, and anti-shake On....Lens was a Sigma 28-70 EX DG (35mm format) at f/8 and 55mm ???? Although you can not beat the stock kit lens for getting as close as 4 inches!

enjoy all! Kostas

Thanks KosPap,

I agree with Kilovolt and as has been told by Fallingwater :
we are waiting your article next December .
