Strong - the beer, not the can

20th September 2011

For a very long time, I was thinking about buying some lights so I can have a small set up at home. I never bought the lights because I could never get enough information about what I should go for... or in other words I was not motivated enough. So in the absence of anything else, I decided to use a regular CFL I have at home and was happy with the results. Now I am using the same CFL quite regularly. The advantage I have with this light is the flexibility it offers. I can control the direction and the intensity of the light quite accurately as I am holding the light in one hand and the camera in the other. I am thinking of buying a couple of lamps so I can use more than one source of light... unless I mutate and grow another hand for holding a second light.
