    Playing With Shop Lights

    Here's one I shot yesterday. I was just playing with your standard clamp lights used in garage.
    I had one clamped on the boom above her and my assistant was holding the other one as the main light.
    This alternative lighting stuff is a lot of fun.

    Wow, great results. Don't let the lighting manufacturers see this!

    If you put one of the lighting manufactures logos on it, it would probably retail for $295.

    Welcome to the forum, Mike. I continually stress the point of finding inexpensive alternatives to name brand studio gear. I appreciate your contribution...

    Yeah I got one of these myself, $7, 250 watt quartz light - $15, pretty nice for $22! They make those lamps with ceramic bases to handle 500 watts, but that adds a whopping ~$33 to the cost!

    I assume you are using quartz too? Or are those sun-light floods?

    I am just using standard 60 Watt household light bulbs.
