    I think the Bowens adapter is too narrow, making the light directional instead of diffused. Still, with some tinkering, it probably works as a key light.

    Diffusion is a constraint of physics and the larger surface area that is needed to negate specular light. Just like physics dictates how we will never have holograms in the air. It's impossible to have a holographic projection without a substate. Put a neon glowy array thing in the backdrop with the X60 and, epic light blogging will occur. Two diffusers in hand look more comedic. Entertained by the ramble as always. Good stuff.

    what if you have the diffusor "bending" light rays so you could have a compact light but get the same effect of a diffusor. like a lense that bends reality and diffuses the light on to the whole room/ scene .

  • @EvelynDayless
    @EvelynDayless3 ай бұрын

    Wouldn't shrunk down diffusion just be a beauty dish or an led panel? How soft a light is is determined by it's diameter so there's only so much you can do physically to make it small.

    I do like that Zhiyun better (with softbox and grid), and I think it can give you more flexible lighting options as it doesn't spill on your background as much. You could apply some epic Douchey KZreadr Lighting™ back there.

    Zhiyun was better. Your background should be darker than your subject. Also soft light has a lot to do with the size of the diffusion. Larger diffusion, softer the light. So that won't ever shrink. However, perhaps an innovation in how they're packaged/unfolded to emphasize portability.
