Cheap LEDs usualy have bad CRI (color rendering index) of about 70.

(CRI 100 = Sun)

The collor temperature usualy ranges between 6000 and 11000 Kelvin.

Very cold temperature is fine for anything Metal, but absolutely useless for flowers and insects. Making a ring shape 45°Angle paper to reflect flash usualy provides better light quality. I admit that it is more cumbersome to hold than attached lights

fuck off you trolls!! i appreciate what you did sir,

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

You argument lost all credibility when you stooped to derogatory name calling, so this conversation is over.

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

Yes, yes I have

Plagiarism – “Plagiarism is when a writer duplicates another writer's language or ideas then calls it their own”

1. Plagiarism doesn't apply to ideas

2. I clearly stated the idea was not mine

3. All the text in the video and written post are mine

4. All the links to the resources (flashlights) were gathered by me

5. All the sample images are mine

Not sure where Plagiarism would come into play

So after the first person shot HDR everyone else who follow is a plagiarist?

@WeeklyPhotoTips no but give credit where credit is due don't be a lazy ass and just rip off someone else hard work and engineuity, and say oh well i can't remember. Be loyal to your 600 plus subscribers and try not to just spit out BS videos, I was truly interested in your vid until you just neglected to mention who you got the idea from.

[ahood99]

but since I am to lazy to look up whose idea I stole they will not be receiving credit, ever heard of Plagiarism

@WeeklyPhotoTips All of the following are considered plagiarism:

-turning in someone else's work as your own

(copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit)

-failing to put a quotation in quotation marks

-giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation

-changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit

(copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not)

that's how

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

and I did none of those things

[ahood99]

@WeeklyPhotoTips yes you did

copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit

exactly what you did

[flashyshoe011]

Interesting clip, I was recently reading about something similar on thephotographyclinic (.) com

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

If you head over to the blog (Weekly Photo Tips .com) and do a search for "DIY Macro Lighting" you will links to where you can buy the lights.

If you watch our David Honl video you will see what a speed strap is, essentially it's a piece of Velcro you can wrap around your flash or lens to attach things.

Hope that helps.

[neverforever1984]

Whats a speed strap? Where is the demo on how to make an led light?

Where do you buy it again???? Your website is very hard to follow.

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

I did!

If you head over to the blog (Weekly Photo Tips .com) and do a search for "DIY Macro Lighting" you will see the write-up and 6 sample images.

Thanks for watching.

[lepeanut]

nifty trick, but next time post up some photo results of your work.

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

Nope... no flare at all.

Thanks for watching.

[copper4534]

Do you find you get lens flare with the light positioned like that? Just curious. Good idea though.

[WeeklyPhotoTips]

I just posted the info over at Weekly Photo Tips.

Thanks for your patience.
