I have a daylight bulb in the ceiling light fan. It's off to the right of me. The wall are a nice tan look. When I tried a 60 watt bulb, it made everything look dark even though I'm visible. I do have a ring light with three temp settings but can't put it behinnd the monitor and webcam. I don't think the picture looks too bad. However, I wouldn't mind improving things. Love to get more input on that setup.

@guguemichaels 2 жыл бұрын

Actually, as a film DP, I prefer the natural look. If has more detail. With the shadows and highlights on your face and background. When lit, it looked flat and dull withno texture. It all depends on the look one is going for. Either way is fine... is what I'm trying to say. Just depends on what look the dp or director is going for. Enjoyed the video though. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾 🙂

Hi! Tell me this. How come that 2 different cameras gives 2 different exposure with exact the same settings??, my face was 2-3 stop overexposed by the Canon G16 powershot and the Nikon d800 full frame it was perfect exposed. Does sensor size matter when you measure light? I used only 1 softbox, it had a bulb inside and this was my only light in the room my keylight and both cameras was set on Manual mode.
