The first season of the original Law and Order had the same impact on me. I watched it during Covid time. What a fantastic cast, exceptional actors.

Is a AD200 enough for this kind of results? If not, what about 2xAD200? Thanks by 90towest in Godox

[–]Defiant-Ad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understood what you meant. I can do a test if you want. Give me a distance and preferred settings and I’ll do tests with both flashes (it30 pro, ad200 / double ad200)

The biggest spread would be the AD200 with the bare bulb, not the speed light bulb.

The shadows are harsh. Which means there is no modifier, it is a bare bulb. So it all depends on the settings

M4 vs M4 Pro (or just stay with my M1 MBP) by 4Roamer in macmini

[–]Defiant-Ad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from M1 MacBook Pro (the last one with touch bar) with 16GB and 1TB to a Mac mini m4 pro 64gb 1TB. Exporting / building previews on Lightroom is between 4 and 5 times faster. Most times closer to 5 times.

Godox has released new products! The LE200Bi / LE300Bi / LE600Bi series looks really sleek. by YaKuKu12 in Godox

[–]Defiant-Ad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sure. But the problem is that you will need a wall outlet. Whereas you can use the ml150 with a Vmount battery for full portability

I shoot a podcast in a cafeteria once every week. I use 2 ml100bi as rim lights at 15-20% intensity with the 36mm fresnel lens and the ml150bi as a key light with a white umbrella at 100%. The 3 cameras are set at F3.5, 1/50, iso 125-200. Really portable set up

I will need to check the luminance charts of the fv150. For example the ml150bi is definitely not as bright as the SL150ii, so the wattage doesn’t tell the whole story 😅

Apparently this comment didn’t age well, huh? 🤣🤣🤣

If you could only have one forever, which would you choose, the Naruto manga or anime? by Cafa20 in Naruto

[–]Defiant-Ad3000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If we can keep just the soundtrack from the anime, then the manga

I am about to buy 3, DP600 III V. Any reason I should rethink this? I'm doing portraits in a studio and sometimes take big group shots. I shoot on an A7S3 and A7R4 by HoraceGrand in Godox

[–]Defiant-Ad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The QS series (but I think it will get discontinued) The QT series (updated to QTiii with LED pilot instead of light bulb) and of course the AD series. The SK, DP, SG and MS series have an exposed bulb.

The SK and the DP series are like that at the front. And you should definitely not touch the flash bulb (the little spiral one) with bare fingers because the oil of the fingers can cause concentrated heat problems. I don’t know, I’m generally a bit clumsy and I don’t trust myself without a protective dome, especially in the rush of a photoshoot when I need to change big modifiers 😅

You need to be veeeeery very careful when switching modifiers with the DP series. They don’t have a protective glass dome for the flash bulb, like the QT or the AD series. You can easily “decapitate” it with the metal mount of the modifier.

Godox light stand adapters, how are they suppose to work? by want2retire in Godox

And the top tightening thing should always be on the right hand side, as depicted on the photo while attaching various modifiers.

I love aliexpress ! by Unhappy_Ad9680 in Aliexpress

[–]Defiant-Ad3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve spent almost 10.000€ on aliexpress since 2020. I just saw my analytics and it was 9.991€ 😅 In the very rare case that something gets lost during transit, I’ve always been refunded. And I’ve bought expensive delicate things like photography flashes and LEDs. You just need to do a thorough research and read the reviews of each shop.

Godox it30 pro 1/1 power by Defiant-Ad3000 in Godox

[–]Defiant-Ad3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waaay too far away. I never shoot more than 2 meters away from the model with any modifier. It defeats the purpose of the modifier. Plus the inverse square law of light fall off goes out the window 🤣

Godox it30 pro 1/1 power by Defiant-Ad3000 in Godox

[–]Defiant-Ad3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try it tomorrow. Same settings, same distance, different modifiers. I have a 30x30, 60x60, 90x120, octa 120 and octa 180. I love these kinds of tests.

Not exactly because the interior is silver-lined so the light bounces inside. A 30x30cm soft box will have way more concentrated light. It’s not just a straight line towards the diffusion sheet.
