In this KZfaq video, I will be demonstrating the dissimilarities between continuous lights and flash. Many people have heard that continuous lights flash, but which one do I have? Join me as I explain the disparities and why you might actually want to have both options.
Working with continuous light has its advantages, as it allows you to see exactly what is happening and what you are doing. There's no need to set up the light and hope for the right exposure or power level with a flash. However, continuous lights have less power compared to flash.
To showcase the practicality of both lighting options, I will first set up a scenario with Megan in a natural light look. Then, I will create a dark and moody vibe by overpowering the existing light and shooting with my Canon R7 and RF 50mm 1.8 lens

Thanks for using my first ever r series camera, Vanessa Joy! I’m glad someone uses my baby! I have an r6 now but still love this camera so much!

It’s such a great camera!

One difference I've noticed is the dilation of the pupils -- with continuous bright light, the subject's eyes will have adjusted by shrinking the pupils, while they don't have a chance to with a sudden flash.

Yes!! Such a good point - although could be achieved with a modeling light available on some flashes

Images using continuous light tend to be a little 'softer', less 'crisp' than the flash images. The flash exposure analog to the shutter speed is the flash duration, around 1/1000", while the continuous shutter speed tends to be around 1/100". The slower effective light time allows for micro-jitters, both with the subject and the camera, softening the image.

A topic worthy of two more books: Continuous Light Handbook: 32 Scenarios for Creating Beautiful Light and Stunning Photographs And The Complete Lighting Handbook: 32 Scenarios for Advanced Combined Off Camera Flash and Continuous Light Photography to Make You Drool.

Haha love it

Also, a "strobe" draws power and then holds it.. it doesn't keep drawing power which kills battery. You can go a very long time with a strobe.

A more apples-to-apples comparison would have been shooting indoors at night (plus using equivalent modifiers).

@VanessaJoy 2 ай бұрын

Not in my opinion. I’m a more practical user and I don’t care what lights do at night as much as I care about how they work in the day, when I normally work. And there isn’t an XL shoot through umbrella for that continuous light so I can’t use the same modifier, nor would I because of the continuous light’s power limitation. I used both lights in the manner of how I would use them, working with their pros and cons, in that scenario. To me that’s more valuable and practical than a clinical review and comparison, but totally ok if that’s not what is valuable to you.

@jean-claudemuller3199 2 ай бұрын

but the continuous Rotolight light has also an integrated flash function that doubles the brightness and is Elinchrom flashes compatible and the studio flash has also an integrated continuous light !

@VanessaJoy 2 ай бұрын

Yeah but I was comparing flash to continuous and that wouldn’t be continuous 😜

@Br8kz 2 ай бұрын

So to get a more dramatic look you would darken the exposure on your in camera settings? and to make the flash work as if it were natural light you bring it further back and brighten the settings in your camera?

@VanessaJoy 2 ай бұрын

That’s a fairly good summary, but it’s also the size of the light - very large for soft light, very small for hard light

There's a weird magenta color cast in the first continuous light. Is that the issue with tint and WB or was there some lighting contamination? Thanks for your video.

@VanessaJoy 2 ай бұрын

Potentially all of the above!
