Photography uses light and shadow to paint, and effective control of the light source is a compulsory course for photographers. Nowadays, in addition to traditional flashes, there are more portable hand-held LED lights. Compared with the flash, the LED fill light is easier and more convenient to operate. For novice photographers, it is a good equipment for learning and mastering lighting.
Understand what are the differences between led fill light and flash?
1. From the point of view of the naked eye, the LED fill light is always on, and the light source is continuous and uninterrupted. The flash is capable of emitting strong light in a short period of time to pray for instant fill light;
2. In terms of appearance, the LED is composed of rows of lamp beads, which is a large luminous matrix, and the bulb of the flash has only one tube;
3. In terms of the duration of shooting, the LED fill light is a constant-on photography light, and it will stay on until it runs out of power. Its advantages are high light efficiency, low voltage, small size, long life, adjustable color temperature and brightness, rechargeable, power bank and other characteristics, and it is quickly popularized.
And the flash is instantaneous, only the shooting time will be bling, and you have to learn what 1/128, 1/1 output power means, you have to learn how to jump flash, and the meaning of front-curtain/rear-curtain synchronization, and you have to learn to measure before shooting. What you mean by light, you have to predict the light effect in advance, you have to test the shooting, when shooting, you must also consider the audience, the condemnation of the flash, when shooting children, usually children will not be able to stand the flash, shooting adults, soon models will be disgusted Shining eyes hurt.
4. In terms of the luminous area, although the LED supplementary light has a relatively large luminous matrix, the LED supplementary light’s irradiation area and brightness are limited, so the larger the plate of the LED light, the more the lamp beads, and the more It’s light, and the brightness of LEDs is related to something called “lumens”. This thing called “lumens” is actually a unit of luminous flux. The greater the lumens, the brighter the light, and it is continuous. The brightness of the flash , If it is counted in an instant, it is actually much brighter than LED and the irradiation area is much larger. This is caused by the different structure of the two lamps.
To sum up, what you see is what you get with the LED fill light. We don’t know what the flash will look like before you press the shutter. The led fill light can be used as an auxiliary light source to shoot. For example, if you like to shoot video, it is recommended to choose Led fill light, if you are shooting large scenes of portraits, because of the original picture of the brightness of the led fill light, it is still recommended to use a flash.
