I would make some scrims and buy some clamp lights from Home Depot. here are some links my lighting teacher sent out [contains titties] http://photo.net/photography-lighting-equipment-techniques-forum/00AQW1 [contains titties] http://www.prophotolife.com/2008/04/22/technical-more-sticks-screens-and-bulbs/ you don't have to use wood like the instructions, PVC pipe and corner joints work alright and it's more portable as you can break it down. Ripstop nylon from a fabric store works great as a diffusion material as well http://www.shuttertalk.com/articles/diylighting#introduction $75 lighting kit 40oz fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Dec 4, 2009 |

corkskroo posted:I just grabbed a couple of 100W "reveal" bulbs (which claim to be "full-spectrum") at rite aid and bounced one off the ceiling. I snapped this with minimal fussing. It's kind of over exposed but maybe heading in the right direction? quote:The other thing that drives me crazy is in Photoshop I have to selected view > proof colors every time I start on a new image and do a huge amount of levels adjustment or else the image comes out very faded when I save to jpeg. I swear I never used to have to do this. I trace this additional step to when I got my current samsung monitor. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'll open an image, it'll look fine, and then if I "save for web" it goes to hell. I have to screw with the levels like crazy just to get it to look like it did coming off the camera. What's the proper proof setup setting for doing this work? I never use it, but I think "save for the web" minimizes file size and more importantly how many colors an image contains. This could be an issue. Is your monitor color calibrated?
