billy_bunton Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>hi :)</p> <p>me and my friends want to set up a scene from when we went camping last summer, we then want to photograph that scene.</p> <p>we want to use a lantern for lighting but i am thinking i might need my metz for fill-in.</p> <p>so, my question is, what type of lantern should i look to buy in regards to the colour temperature? as mixing these light sources - i imagine - will not give me what i am imagining in my head! </p> <p>hope you can help,</p> <p>cheers,</p> <p>billy</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy_bunton Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>it would probably help if i explained what we trying to do....</p> <p>we all went camping but a few of our mates cancelled. and then once we got set up for the night and it was dark, we started hearing noises and we got scared, well i never but the rest of us did. and it was our mates who had cancelled, they had followed us and planned to scare us all along.</p> <p>so i want to have my girlfriend and her friend hugging each other by this lantern lamp that we dont have anymore, so we have to buy a new one. i want the photo to look low light, a little scary if you know what i mean.</p> <p>cheers</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_stiles Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>Get a CTO gel for your metz to match your lantern. You might be able to get by w/ a 1/4 CTO, as you'll still want some warm light showing from the lantern.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric merrill Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>I'd use a flash instead of a lantern. Get a lantern. Put a flash inside it. You'll know have a much more controllable light source. :)</p> <p>Eric</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan_stiles Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 <p>I'll be honest, I don't think I would. A flash throws light completely different than a latern, and I don't think you'll be able to get something realistic easily. If I did, I'd want a Stofen on it to spread the light.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
