Video lights for wedding details<\/h2>\n

A versatile lighting tool that is always in my camera bag – a video light. With a video light you can localize how you light up something like details at an event. Unlike bounce flash, it doesn’t light up the entire scene – just where you point the video light at. Eg:\u00a0bounce flash vs video light<\/a>. I love\u00a0LED video lights<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>), since they are compact, don\u2019t run hot, and the color balance can be continuously changed from 3200K tungsten (Incandescent) to 5600K Daylight. Light is produced flicker free at any frame rate or shutter angle.<\/p>\n

It is just the sweetest little device that easily fits into a side-pocket in my camera bag. It is spendy, but has come in handy at just about every wedding I’ve photographed.<\/p>\n

Here is how I shot the shoes in the photo at the top. I sometimes hand-hold the video light while shooting, but it isn’t always practical. Camera shake is a risk. Also, for proper directional light, it just needs to be properly placed – here I used a light-stand. The obvious and best way to do it.<\/p>\n
