I have two lightstands and one external flash. I need a hair light because my subjects are not separated from the backdrop. Should I go with a continuous light/softbox or another flash? I like using flash because I can shoot at a higher shutter with a low iso, but I'm still early on so if its best to go with a continuous setup I want to do it now.
@unclestuntman I would go with a flash so you can match the intensity of the flashes that you have. Flash can normally push more light than a continuous light. You can go with a softbox with your flash as well. That is what I would do but I do not know your specific situation. Good luck with your decision. Peace
@FontanaKnowledge Thanks for the advice. So a narrow softbox is the best way to go for a hairlight? What do you think about honeycombs or barndoors for a flash ?

@FontanaKnowledge My question was "Should I buy continuous lights with softboxes or strobes with softboxes for photography/video?" buh since u didnt reply .. i went with continuous lights =p .. hope I made the right choice. Thanx for replying tho! cheers
@666coldblood The right choice all depends on your use of the lights. There are many things that each type of light are good for. You always have to use what you have to your best ability. What made you decide to go with continuous over strobe??
@FontanaKnowledge I do videos more if compared to photography. And for videos, continuous lights always helps. I tried some still shots with continuous lights, and they came out pretty good too. + these lights were cheap if compared to strobes or off-camera flash. u can see the shot at flickr.com/eddymansoor. =)
It would be awesome if you showed us some of your favorite shots and how you set them up with details like lighting, ISO, F-stops, aperture, lenses, lighting and any other info you could offer and let us know if it was possible to do with a crop sensor or if it wasn't possible with a crop sensor. Thanks for all your tips. My biggest tip for you is to use more video tags so people like us can find you easier! Thanks for being here for us!
Your channel rocks! I recently found your videos and went through the whole portrait series. I am a recent DSLR newbie and still learning. Your videos explained things in a fun comfortable way. I have a gardening channel and it is going to help me show plants growing in a whole new light (pun intended). I am going to make a new channel for us poor crop sensor types as I learn more. Running out of room, gonna post one more comment...
I learn so much from this guy, down to earth and earth and easy to understand, top bloke!
