Originally posted by GhostRed7 The lights are CFL and junk lol. I've gotten some decent shots off of them though. Color temp is 5000K i believe. They basically match natural cloudy lighting (mid-day cloudy color temp). Thinking of maybe getting one of the LED continuous with the color temp modes (at least 2). I'm probably going to take a dummy shot with the window and my light to see what it actually looks like.
I never shoot jpeg. 2 card slots on the K1 and shoot in DNG so have plenty of space (actually planning on upsizing the cards). DxO prime function is my usual noise reduction followed by Topaz then LR.
A couple of suggestions for lights then:
I've found the Amaran 200D very useful (There's also a higher price but less powerful bi-color version. Bi-color will always have less effective power).
Color accurate, plenty strong as a kicker to augment the window light, and bright enough as a key if needed as long as you're comfortable with slightly higher ISO's. If you're on a tighter budget even the Sokani x60 (80W) is enough to augment the window light, and they're a legit bargain IMO. I have both, as well as the RGB Sokani. Don't automatically reject the home-built lights using Lowe's/Home Depot lighting fixtures either. I've not ever tried them but I often see comments from others about how well certain ones perform. You'd have to do some research on Youtube to get suggestions and tips.
Now my continuous light favorite: The Nanlite FS-300, which I have a pair of. Powerful enough that I've used them with the Nanlite fresnel for outdoor morning and afternoon shoots in place of my AD-200's on three different occasions so far and quite effectively. They're a bit more expensive and perhaps overkill for what you need for indoor baby pics, but I do
highly recommend them. For what you pay they're amazing.
Just my 2 cents, maybe 1 cent.
