Basic knowledge of photographic lamps

What is a photographic lamp? What's the use? Below I have compiled the basic knowledge of photographic lamps. Welcome to read for reference. I hope it will help you.

Brief introduction of photographic lamp

Photographic lights, also known as headlights, interview lights and news lights, play the same role in digital cameras as flash lights. If you want to shoot objects with dark surfaces, you must use these auxiliary light sources, otherwise it will affect the clarity of the picture and cannot be improved by post-processing.

The function of photographic lamp in digital camera is the same as that of flash lamp in digital camera. If you want to shoot dark objects, you must use these auxiliary light sources, otherwise the noise will be very large, and post-processing alone is not enough. For many novice digital cameras, the photographic lamp seems to be an unnecessary thing, and it is also the most easily overlooked digital camera accessory. This is also because there are too few photographic lights available in the market, and with photographic lights, it is not very convenient to carry a digital camera, which makes many users flinch.

For experienced players, the photographic lamp is an indispensable photographic equipment, which is very useful on many occasions. In fact, photography lamp is a very important equipment in shooting, especially in outdoor scenes at night, such as barbecue and camping, which is an indispensable and important equipment. With the photographic lamp, the use range of digital cameras can be expanded, and it is not limited by light.

diversification

There is a new type of fluorescent lamp on the market. CamlightLED can be connected to different photographic equipment, and it is light, with built-in long-life lithium polymer battery, which is easy to carry and use. It solves the problem of multi-purpose in Yi Deng, and you won't take it as a burden. Therefore, this kind of camlight photography lamp has become the favorite of news, film and television workers and photographers as soon as it is listed.

In the poor light environment, it is basically difficult to take a clear picture without an auxiliary light source. If you want to have a good picture, proper lighting is very necessary. Some people shoot people's faces very dark indoors, while others shoot them healthily and naturally. It's all about lighting. Many friends think that good images can be taken with sufficient overall lighting, but it is impossible without good facial lighting. Camlight photography lamp solves this problem well. Camlight photography lamp can provide auxiliary light, so that digital camera can take clear and artistic photos by adjusting the illumination of auxiliary light lamp when the illumination is insufficient or the light ratio is wrong.

Camlight photography lamp has been widely used by some TV stations and photographers in China, Hongkong, Macau, Europe and America, and has produced many excellent TV programs.

explain

At night, in complex environments such as indoors, hotels, cars and elevators, if you want to shoot beautiful pictures, you need to use lighting reasonably. Here is how to fill the light in several environments.

1. Description of Lighting Design for People Interview

Interviews with people are usually in offices, houses, hotels and other places. At this time, the environment is more complicated, and the traditional lighting is inconvenient to pull the power cord, with high power and large space, which will consume your precious time and resources. Here is a brief introduction to the method of light distribution with high-efficiency LED photography lamps: This kind of interview ambient light is generally dominated by 5600K color temperature, so we should choose two or three camlight photography lamps with a basic color temperature of 5600 K ... Pay attention to make full use of the natural light outside the window when lighting, which may become your main light or side light. Use PL-68 cloth with built-in battery for other lamps. In short, it is necessary to cooperate with field light to construct main light, auxiliary light and side light. Through these treatments, the illumination of the site can be improved by 300-800LUX, and a perfect lighting environment is presented to your eyes.

2. Description of news shooting fill light

In most news shooting environments, except for special lighting environment, auxiliary lighting is theoretically needed. You can see these under-the-lamp shots in the news programs of various TV stations every day. In fact, it is very simple to fill the light when shooting news. According to the characteristics of light weight and long battery life of camlight photographic lamp, as long as it is installed on the camera, the lamp can be turned on synchronously as soon as it is turned on, which is very convenient to use. Most shooting environments have a color temperature of 5600K and a lamp holder angle of 45 degrees. When it is two meters away from the subject, the illumination can be increased by 150-300LUX. When you shoot some news with this lamp, you will find that the picture without fill light is really inferior. In fact, it's only a few hundred lux, and the picture has been greatly improved after a small range of fill light with PL-68!

3. Description of fill light for small scene shooting

Camlight photography lamp also has the most unique application. Many film and television dramas are inseparable from the lens in the car, and the lighting in the car has always been a headache for lighting technicians and photographers. According to the practical application of "Forever Mangrove" crew, PL-68 has well solved the lighting requirements of cars when parking and driving. How to use it is to fix PL-68 on the window glass with the hose bracket of the camera with sucker, and adjust the brightness and angle as needed. In fact, camlight photography lights also have quite a few outstanding performances in small environments, such as elevators, which are indispensable shooting locations for modern drama. Of course, in large-scale shooting environment, lights are also suitable for drawing details.

In the process of shooting people, the use of camlight photography lamp and soft mask has a very good effect: the brightness is adjustable, the color rendering is good, and the details such as the eye light of the person can be outlined. Appropriate addition of auxiliary light sources can make better image effects of people and add new operational technical conditions for photography.

In film and television lighting and photographic lighting, the basic technical requirements are the same, but there are different requirements in specific occasions. For example, photographic lighting is a picture work, and its fineness is much higher than that required by TV shooting. Especially for point and line lighting, the use of modern lighting technology will greatly improve the shooting effect, but TV images have entered the era of high definition, so the requirements for lighting have also improved.

How to buy

1. Small studios should buy lamps with small output: the shooting space is less than 5 ping and the ceiling height is less than 3 meters. It is best to buy a lamp of about 200 watts, not more than 400 watts.

2. Buy high-output lamps for large studios: the shooting space is more than 5 square meters, and the ceiling height is more than 3 meters 1. It's best to buy a lamp of about 400,600 watts.

3. The output of external flash lamp is no less than that of shed lamp, but the shooting mode must be considered, because the return speed is slow and it is easy to burn out; If you often go to continuous shooting, it is recommended to buy a shed lamp.

4. Outdoor lighting, single lamp lighting and electric bucket lighting are available. It is suggested that ordinary people start with outdoor lighting and single lighting. If high-speed continuous shooting is needed, the electric bucket is more suitable.

5. Some photographic lamps are special and cannot be used universally. Moreover, some photographic lamps need strong battery power. Therefore, the existing battery capacity should be considered when purchasing photographic lamps, and additional purchases may be required if necessary.
