RE: Upgraded my photo lighting.

in Photography Lovers4 years ago

Heh I already broke otwo of the bulbs Yesterday. I didn't quite know that they might blow up if the power was switched on for too long. I'll be on a hunt for new bulbs today I guess. (It'll may prove to be difficult because they only sell led bulbs here. I don't prefer leds for photography, because they flicker.)

I'm hoping that I could use this studio set-up for shooting pets, products and other things. Not sure about portraits though, as I'm bad with people.

Sort:  

Try and get a Godox AD200 instead.. Should do the trick for a longer run..

Ohh, that one looks nice. I'll have to think about it.

It's just that I already have a Nissin Di600, a radio transmitter and two receivers, and I recently ordered two Bowen brackets, but instead got three.

I'm thinking that if I bought myself 2 more cheap flashes and one receiver, I could replace the continuous light bulbs and use the softboxes with the flashes instead.

The modeling light in the AD200 however does seem quite compelling.

If I were to get myself and AD200, I might also have to get a Godox transmitter and a an additional receiver for the Di600.

I wonder which choice comes cheaper...

Ah!!

Yes, for the Godox you will have to get a transmitter and a receiver and sadly they aren't cheap.. I would suggest use what you have now and then once you start taking up assignments and earn some nice amount, that time you can upgrade..

You can ask @eveuncovered how she felt after upgrading too lights.. She has changed here entire self portrait game to another level..
