p.3 #16 · What do you use to light for Wedding Formals? | |
1. Enough light/DOF for any size group.
2. Fast recycling of strobes vs. battery-powered flashes means less waiting, faster shooting. (This wouldn't be worth it if I only had to take a few.)
3. Even if using speedlites, I'd still have stands....so I just have a little bigger stands--not a big diff., IMO.
4. Two vagabonds makes everything as self-contained and portable as the speedlites...just heavier.
5. Predictable color, minimal post-processing.
Which is why I stopped using flashlights when shooting formals away back when I changed over to digital and had to do my own processing. I needed shot to shot consistency and more power.
Outdoors I currently use an onboard flash with GF (it makes a difference close up though for group shots it just sucks up power), as soon as the new Radio Poppers ship to Europe I'll be able to have a reliable off camera light as main and using ratios have the on camera just as fill. Been looking forward to that for a while.
