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.

Here's a pullback of the setup from the above image.

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

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?
