Digital Light Kits
Mike,
Now I'm in your area of vast knowledge. Today I finally took the plunge and bought my first real photography light (I had been using my living room lamps to this point).
Knowing what little I do about lighting requirements for sculpture, I saw what looked to be just the thing for my needs - a kit by Photoflex called the "Basic Digital Starlite Kit." This kit has a silverdome instead of an umbrella and produces a very soft, but bright (500 watt) light. I am anxious to try it out.
What is the difference between using an umbrella and a dome for diffusion? Does anyone use this type of light with digital cameras for resource photos? If so, how do you like it?
