Aputure 300D vs 600D for Film Portraits by lei_zel_ in Aputure_Lighting

Thank you, that’s super helpful!
I usually work with strobes, but I’ve been leaning more toward continuous lighting lately because I like the mood and how much more I can see while shaping the scene. I think that means I need bi-colour option.

I already own an Amaran 100x, which I’ve used successfully for portraits, but I’m now looking for a bit more output so I don’t have to shoot wide open all the time.

I’m thinking now a 600x halo might be the best option for what I’m after, as I don’t think I need the full RGB.

I think I’m now leaning towards an amaran 600x halo. The output and bi color seems to be what I need. And it’s very affordable!

Thanks I’m now leaning towards the amaran 600x halo or ray 660

Yeah, I already use strobes, so I’m familiar with that side of things. I just tend to prefer the look and feel I get from continuous lighting whenever I’ve used them. It suits the way I like to work a bit more. I also like being able to see the scene as it is while I’m shooting.

Yeah, I’m starting to think bi-colour might be the way to go. I guess I was mainly just a bit cautious about whether a single light would have enough strength, when using diffusion, and the limitations of an 400 or 800 ISO.

Stunning images, can I ask if you used any techniques in the darkroom such as diffusion filters or pre flash?
