Awesome video and tuts..your content is always spot on! I have a non foodie video question. The non photography lighting on your wall above the lens shelf...is that custom work? I am looking for that sort of lighting to put in my office. Thanks!!

We're here for the light, should have used the same exact gear for both photos except for the light source of course.

Same here. It’s seems like the flood light with a diffuser attached will be almost as solid as the aperture lights. Great vid I just needed a way to control my flood light. Those flood light lit up a dark club scene which with color grading came out great but my clients had to get accustomed to the brightness thanks.

Being a very monotone speaker myself i congratulate you on the enthusiasm and attitude your bring to your videos. I hope to improve my voice by watching your videos!

You really encourage me to go harder with everything I already have. I usually crave for better gears and I lost some money to things that I don't really use. Thank you for making all these useful videos, I'm sure it helps people like me and many others to save more than a million $. You did a great deed to the world, my friend!

First time viewer! Love the content, thank you for sharing.

Subscribed almost immediately. Saw the background and the lots of DIY looking stuff and the fact that you were talking about not spending on ridiculously overpriced stuff vs buying practical stuff. Will be using these and other tips, thank you!

Your vids are so good! Great information and you get right to the point. And you’re fun to watch too. Thanks so much!

Hey I used work lights with parchment paper 30 years ago when I was shooting film... I am glad that in the era of digital cameras some people still use it. I had at least 10-15 of those installed in my house and to expand even further I had barn doors on some of them which were painted matte black to direct lights were I wanted them. That's how I started shooting portraits on the budget and once I have set all settings on my camera (film body) I never moved that body out of studio, just to make sure that I do not mess my settings. Nice take on that!

Wow!! Incredible !

Been thinking of picking up a work light for the garage, and after seeing a couple photographers use them to obtain great shots, I think I need to visit the hardware store. Thanks for sharing!

GREAT Video! Most likely the difference was in the camera's Dynamic Range and Color Depth, besides the MUCH better piece of Glass, having much better MicroContrast. So, there's little to no difference between the lights. But the transport convenience.

This was of great help! Loved the output of both.

That sounds like a good idea, although for under $50, I don't know. A single light stand usually cost more. However, it can be done if you make it out of wood, use a saw and drill it the ceiling. I have a plan for that, but I'm not sure if that would work for the average joe

Just a tip for all of you. They also make these types of lights with LED's. The halogen light's will not take any abuse (they break relatively easy) and they are brutally hot like he said. I bought mine at Walmart for like $20 and they are plenty bright. Have an awesome day!

Hello from your new subscriber in Australia!

great video. A lot of people ask me what gear I use and I keep telling them, you don't need expensive stuff and a lot of lights. The subject matter is important. I know so many photographer with fancy gears but the results are crap. I only bring more gears and staff if the gig is paid well, but again I rarely use a lot of lights at the shoot.

yay fantastic, I use short cuts and "cheat light" all the time
