reem_a Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 <p>I am a beginner in photography, Sometimes I don't have the time to take shoots in natural day light. I heard that using "Light Umbrella Kit" is an alternative to day light? Do I need it or is there any other alternative?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 <p>What are you photographing? Table-top product style subjects? Group portraits? Houses?<br /><br />More details, please. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devon_mccarroll Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 <p>Definitely more info needed about what you're shooting, and also your level of technical expertise with your camera. When you use artificial lighting, you definitely need to know how to use your camera in manual mode, and shooting in RAW and setting a custom white balance become more important to correct for any light temperature differences.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_taylor9 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>Not much alternative. Assuming you are photographing people, the go-to equipment is 2 flashes inside umbrellas or softbox diffusors. <br> Time to start reading up on the basics of lighting and see if you can borrow or rent some of it to practice before charging money for your services.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
