Linda,
I used the White Lighting strobes in the predigital age. They were great at getting a nice shadow pattern and of course I could use a fast shutter speed and stop down the lens, but there was also a kind of sameness to the light that bothered me. I couldn't see any nuances. It was like playing the piano with only one octave. After awhile it was just plain boring. I much prefer natural light. Today, if I have to use photographs, I'll go to all kind of extremes to shoot with it. I've even taken photos of an active 5 yr old at f4 and 1/8 second just to able to use natural light.
There are situations though like painting a head and shoulders on location, when speed is important, where I find an artificial light works very well. I like the colors from my compact fluorescents much more than my strobes or tungsten.
Chris, thanks for passing on the information about the Caselights. I'll check those out. I like the case. Do you find the 2 bulb setup to be enough light?
Steve
