No party is complete without lights. Spotlights can fill colors to a party or a celebration. The ability of spotlights to produce a longer beam can be utilized as a dancing light. You can make the spotlights move on purpose and make it feel like that the lights are participating in your festivities and dancing along with you.

These looks amazing, and I loved the description of how you did the job. Will try it anytime soon, but then again i`m just an amateur.

Spotlight and floodlight are two different types of lights. They have different features and uses and cannot be used as replacements of either of the two.

Incidentlighting

We all have pictures on the walls of our homes and some deserve to stand out.  Typically these do not have a special light and as a result, the lights are not able to make the pictures or frames look prominent. Spotlights are the ideal solution to illuminate the pictures or frames completely.   Add a few LED spotlights by themselves or on tracks to create ambiance and highlight create works or art or pictures.

Spotlights can also be used flashlights.  Flashlights can come in a variety of angles, but typically are wider angle.  Choosing a narrow beam and they are able to produce longer beams of light as compared to regular flashlights. The light would projected at a longer distance so that you can look ahead.

I first blogged about Dark Field Lighting way back in 2010. Since then I have had the conversation with so many people that I thought I’d repost it again, with a few edits here and there.

The glass subject sat on something black I used foam core with glass ontop for that shiney look. A further piece of foamcore just big enough to fill the frame.So here’s the set up and its really simple.

Firstly and most surprisingly theres no direct light and only one strobe used here, you could use a second snooted strobe camera left or right to pick out any detail if you felt like it.

Flood lights get all the attention when it comes to security.  Motion Sensor Flood Lights are extremely popular but spotlights are also being used for security purposes. There are motion sensor spotlights that can be used to detect any sort of suspicious movement in a narrow area such as a walkway and really scare an intruder.

The strobe is set below the table pointing directly at a white wall immediately behind all this. The room needs to be very dark to eliminate any reflections. In a small room you will have problems with reflections from the walls etc.

Spotlights, as we have discussed, have a beam angle of 12 to 60 degrees. They can be used to light up landscapes and places having a downward or upward slope. They can also be used in corridors. Choose LED light bulbs for key places around your property to make it warm and inviting.

Your solution therefore is the dark field method, before I get flamed by those in the know, yes there is an opposite technique called, yes you’ve guessed it Light Field Photography. Its a bit like the Ying and Yang of product photography lighting!

Have you ever tried to photograph something thats made of glass? If you have you’ll know the problems with reflections, it usually results in your mugshot in one of the reflections possibly grining, or the window with the number 7 bus driving by! Not wholly professional and certainly it wont be of a standard that a client is willing to pay for.

A spotlight points the light at a specific point and creates a beam that throws the light at one point. The beam angle of spotlight varies from 12 to 60 degrees. LED Spotlights are the opposite of LED flood lights. A floodlight is a wide angle light used to illuminate larger spaces such as a sports ground, a stage or exterior of a building. They are also used to light up a billboard. Floodlights have a wider beam angle and they range from 65 to 135 degrees.  Choosing the right beam angle is always important, our high bay lights have beam angles from 60 to 120 for example depending on the choice.

My product studio is small so to get round this I used reflective umbrellas black side out to both left and right nice and close in any other black ‘flag type’ props will do the job.
