Title: Golden Hour in studio
Post by: wmchauncey on September 18, 2015, 08:05:08 am

I've been trying to create Golden Hour lighting for my table top studio stuff and have discovered that
candlelight serves quite nicely...the Kelvin numbers, 2800, seem to match that of the evening sun.

Would not simply changing my daylight LED bulbs, that I currently use, to that of 2800K bulbs, serve the same purpose?
I sure am liking the color of the light.

You could also try using something like a CT Orange or CT Straw gel filter over the lights to move it's temp down to around 3000

As I have a number of light stands with appropriate snoots and whatnots...why not use bulbs like this...
