It would be simpler to use a ND filter. -- Lassi Pretty hard to make one light less intense than the other-that way. Never the less yes you could. But the fiberglass screen is really cheap compared to a ND filter. Put the filter on the lens, not the lights. -- Lassi Never said you couldn't. -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 greg_____photo(dot)com |

Good news for still life, less so, sometimes, for portraits. I miss those old slow films! Or maybe your studio is too small+Lights too close :^) But put the lights too far away and I don't get the fall-off pattern that I want, and/or it becomes a nuisance trying to keep light off the background. No easy answers! Or you could put some fiberglass screen material over the light-ala softbox,...thats what I do for digital because my camera only goes down to asa 200. Well, I usually have them in softboxes, unless I'm travelling when I might use brollies. But I agree, scrims on the lights are a better idea really than NDs on the camera - I should do that more often, but old habits die hard. Peter |
