Photography? What brand of lamp is good?

What brand is good for photography fill light? Before answering this question, we should first consider the demand for fill light and choose according to our own situation!

First of all, you should pay attention to the following five points when choosing fill light:

1, depending on the theme.

Our choice of lighting needs to be decided according to the size of the scene we shoot. The larger the shooting scene, the greater the lamp power required. For example, the whole room, online clothing, still life products and other professional shooting need high-power photographic lights. Professional photography lights are divided into constant light and flash light. Flash is mainly used to fill the light of static objects such as portraits, and the power is generally around 400W-600W. Constant light is used to fill the light of live broadcast, video and other dynamic objects, and is usually used as the main light. Generally, the power is between 100W-400W, mainly depending on the scene size. As the main light, you need two stacks, which are placed on both sides of the shooting center at an oblique angle of 45. Don't shine light directly on your face or objects.

If the shooting scene is small, you can choose some small hand-held fill lights. For example, when shooting some small scenes such as food, flowers and still life, you can choose a small fill light within 20W to fill the light. Or, when shooting a face, fill the local light of the face. However, this small lighting has limited power, brightness and lighting range, and can only be used for local light supplement. If you shoot a bust or a scene the size of a desk, or put it on the camera to fill the light when shooting a video, you need a slightly larger lamp, usually around 20W-60W. This kind of lamp is a little bigger, but it can be put in the camera bag.

2. Choose a lamp that can adjust the color atmosphere.

It is very important that the light has the function of color adjustment. Except for the big main lamp, all other lamps need the function of color adjustment. For example, when shooting food scenes, under normal circumstances, the food is basically set off by warm light, which makes the food look more colorful and appetizing. Lights that can't be adjusted in color are all white and belong to cool color. If you hit the food, it will make the food seem to have no appetite at all. There are other scenes that need warm colors to set off, close-up faces and so on. , not used.

Color adjustment is mainly divided into two aspects: one is color temperature adjustment, and the other is RGB full color adjustment. Color temperature is mainly the atmosphere of light, which makes light warm, cool or bright. While RGB can change the scene atmosphere by adjusting the three primary colors of red, green and blue to match different colors.

Color temperature is common to every lamp, but it can be divided into monochrome temperature and bicolor temperature. Single color temperature can not be adjusted, the value is generally 5600K K, and double color temperature can be adjusted, and there is an adjustment range. The mainstream is between 2800 k and 6500 k, and professional brands can be extended to between 2800 k-10000 k. The larger the adjustment range, the richer the light perception can be, especially for still life such as portraits, food and clothes. It needs lighting to set off, which can bring more impressions to people.

RGB is equivalent to a color wheel, and the three primary colors of red, green and blue can be combined at will, and then different color atmospheres are presented, which makes the scene changeable. For example, different styles of scenes such as bars, KTV and punk style can be realized through color matching. But at present, RGB is mainly used in small fill light, and only a few professional brands such as Speedmap are equipped with RGB for professional fill light.

3. Choose a lamp with high color rendering index.

In addition to color adjustment, qualified fill light lamp also needs to have high color reproduction degree and color expression ability. Scientific terms are called Color Rendering Index (CRI) and Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI). If the color temperature and RGB are the light sensitivity changes to the environment and static objects, then CRI and TLCI are the inherent color reproduction to the environment and objects.

The higher the color rendering index, the brighter and more realistic the color, just like in the sun. The color rendering index of sunlight is 100, and the closer the light is to 100, the smaller the color distortion of the irradiated object will be. TLCI is a picture based on camera output, which is used to describe the color expression ability of light. The higher the index, the better the light color performance and the more textured the shot.

What they can present is just like the difference between black-and-white TV and color TV. Therefore, when choosing fill light, especially professional photographic light, we should pay attention to the specific values of CRI and TLCI, which are generally required to be higher than 95%. Regular products are basically marked with these two parameters.

4. Choose an infinitely bright fill light.

When shooting, we may need different brightness to fill the light according to different scene environments. If the brightness of the fill light we carry is not appropriate, the desired effect will not be achieved, so we need the fill light to adjust the brightness. However, although the brightness of some fill lights can be adjusted through publicity, they are all adjusted in stages, and each stage is very different, and sometimes they can't reach the lights we need. This requires precise adjustment of stepless dimming, and the brightness can be adjusted arbitrarily from 0 to 100 to meet different requirements.

5. Choose a lamp that can supply power.

For people who shoot outdoors, the endurance of the fill light is also very important. After all, no one can guarantee that every shot will be completed on schedule. At this time, it is necessary to have different power supply options for the fill light. At present, portable fill light lamps include ordinary batteries, lithium batteries, power supplies and battery dual power supplies. Relatively speaking, lithium batteries have larger capacity and longer battery life. When used with power cords, there is basically no need to worry about running out of power.

The above are five points to pay attention to when choosing fill light, which can make you choose less detours. Next, I will bring you ten brands of fill light lamps, so that you can buy good things and rest assured!
