You'll probly start seeing photographers shooting with LitePanels as that technology migrates from film and television production to still photography. |
Just curious Jimmy, I'm used to using modifiers like snoots and barn doors, of course with the normal "hot" lights. I imagine since like you said, they are naturally soft, one wouldn't need a soft box, diffuser, or the like, but would you be able to use some of the old standards like a snoot or a barn door? Oh, I'm probabbly wrong, but when you mention I have the pic in my head that they are the normal long tubes we are used to seeing in buildings and what not. Are CFB's (compat flourecent bulbs) availble with the daylight balance?
