[title] Selecting Light Fixtures
-[* black] Proper lighting is key to creating high quality guide photos. A well lit object needs minimal photo editing to make a picture that is useable. What are examples of lighting?
- [* black] Case 1, a shaded lamp. It provides light, but not in the way one would want. The light can not be directed to where you want it and the light it does put out is greatly dampened by the shade.
- [* black] Case 2, a clamp light. This is an example of a better lighting option. This light is belled so that the light is focused wherever the light is pointed. The light can also be manipulated to point at what ever your focus is, can be mounted in a variety of locations and has a shiny finish to help reflect the light it puts out.
- [* black] Case 3, studio lamps. These are the ideal options for lighting your pictures. They come in many forms to fit your desired light settings, and can even have filters placed on them to further refine your lighting.
