Hi there,
I've been researching lot's about LF recently and I have a question considering continues lightning (I don't really like flash when I'm composing my shot). I'll be shooting portraits in daylight.
There are always big and bulky (and power consuming solutions) as far as I've seen irl and on the net. I'm thinking of building a small and lightweight 'spot' which consists of a rechargable battery pack and 10 watts of Luxeon 5500k LEDs jammed in a small packed with a tripod mount. With my calculations it should last for half an hour or so on a single battery pack.
Any of you have experience on such a portable 'spot' (building and/or using)? Are there any downsides to continues light (compared to flash)? Any tips when working with continual light?
Thanks
*edit*
I've worked with reflection-screens (white and silver) but I'm looking for a constant light source, I don't want to be dependant on the sun or other people holding reflection-screens.
