Grid light is very directional and not soft. It covers about eight feet and is bleeding into the shadow area more than the other grids did. Less restriction of the light allows more light to pass through and gives us a brighter exposure. It increases to six feet with the 30 degree grid. The area of coverage with a 20 degree grid is about five feet. Each time we step up the grid, we get a larger area of coverage and gain about two-thirds of a stop in exposure. You get about a three foot area of coverage. The light does not fill the area outside of the area of coverage. With a 10 degree grid, you get a very small area of coverage. The light is six feet from the wall and the camera is set to f6.3 aperture with a 1/60sec shutter.
I love them because they help give you more control of the light.įirst, let’s take a look at how the different sizes of grid look with our subject against a white wall. They restrict the area of coverage for the strobe. I want to show how grids work and how you can light with them while at the same time mixing them with tungsten light.Īs we have covered in past lessons, grids are a honeycomb metal insert that go into the reflector. I have been looking forward to shooting here for some time and today is the day! We are going to shoot a film noir shot using grids on strobe heads and mix that with a similar looking light from the film world called a Source 4. It’s a wonderful facility with great equipment and helpful people. Today we are shooting at the YouTube Space for the first time.
