sorry i just dont like this video.... its very amateur & dated. the upload says 2009 but it looks more like 1989. seems to know his stuff, just sayin.
@kascomyo Very, very often soft light, especially over the entire set, is boring. However, using hard directional light requires a much higher level of skill, less margin for error, and more post processing. These are some of the reasons why so many mid-level photogs promote the the use of soft-light.
"watts per second"?? The watt is a unit of power so watts per second does not make sense - unless he is talking about the rate of change of power - which he is not. I suppose he means watt-seconds. But, since 1 watt is 1 joule per second, talking about watt-seconds is rather like talking about kilometers per hour hours rather than just saying kilometers. So, he should just be saying, for example, 60 joules instead of 60 watts per second.
@qazzoid You're exactly right, it's just that "watt second" is what marketing departments use to describe strobes, probably because they thought consumers were used to the idea of lightbulbs being rated by watts. Of course, in both cases the measurement is useless for comparing actual light output of different sources.
@ASFotoWUE watts per second, which would be written W/s or Ws^-1, is NOT the same as joules. Watt-seconds, which would be written Ws, is the same as joules.
@johnny48166 Quite so. However, the watt is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as one joule per second. So it just seems much simpler to say that your strobes are 500 joules each (500J each).
As I already said "talking about watt-seconds is rather like talking about kilometers-per-hour-hours rather than just saying kilometers"
I like the Octobox too. I also use something called a Softliter II, which is a similar concept. It's a big umbrella with a translucent white cover. The light from your flash bounces off of the umbrella and passes back through the cover, so your light has been diffused twice.
They are wonderful. I have two 60" Softliter IIs and they are used at pretty much every shoot. These things are so versatile. You can use them as a reflecting brolly, a shoot through or the double layer softliter. One catch... if you use one outside make sure you have weights or a flash that weighs a few pounds. I used one with a speedlight and the brolly's large size caught the breeze several times and tried to fly away!
the pictures of this guy are horrible!!!!?

@qazzoid One measure of a strobes performance is indeed watt seconds (Ws).
I have two Bowens Gemini strobes and they are 500Ws each.
