need suggestions in if u should use a flash kit or instead continuous lighting source for an upcoming event.
i photograph dog shows but only as a hobby as i still have so much to learn!
the setting is a large 3x3 metre white background with the dog/humans standing in front on a podium. as it fall dark the oval lights come on which creat 4 different angles of lighting i have attached a pic for reference. now last year i shot on a canon d6 no lights or flash and not suprisingly had to bump iso and got a lot of noise but still a workable emd product (althoygh not to the quality i would prefer).
this year i am shooting with cannon 7dmk2 and i am going to add my own light
now problem with dog and flash is it can add the greed/red eye effect this can be overcome post edit but prefered not for 300 odd photos. for that reason i am lending towards a continuois lighting source at one or two angles. i was hoping this would relieve some stress on the camera and let me drop the iso and keep a quick speed
does anyone have any recommendations one way or the other. i was looking at an elinchrom dx4 flash kit if i went that way.. and have otherwise been looking at led lighting for continuous source
