Im posting this thread so you guys can see what im using when taking pics. i get alot of questions so i hope this helps.


as you can see i have 2 LEDs and 2 different tripods for shooting pics


i picked this LED up from Tuesday Morning for $7. comes wih the tripod. the tripod works fairly good. i can also mount this LED to anytripod i want.


heres my other LED. it has a swivel head on it and 3 different lights, RED, GREEN, and WHITE. This LED is made by Black & Decker. I picked it up at walmart for $10.


and heres my tripods i use for my camera. i generally use the bigger of the 2. the big one cost $13 or $15 dont remember. i picked this up at walmart as well.
If youre taking pics and dont have a tripod i highly suggest you invest in one of these.

and as for my camera, i only have one so i couldnt take a pic of it. It is CANON POWER SHOT S2 IS. its an older model. i bought it about 5 yrs ago. so you could probably pick one of these up on ebay now for cheap. i paid around $800 5 or so years ago.

well i hope this answer some questions. please feel free to ask if you have others. im more of a hands on teacher but ill do my best to answer questions for you guys

I also use mini-tripods, a big tripod, and on average two LED flashlights. But, I also use a halogen light on a dimmer. I find the lack of a full spectrum of color in a LED light tends not to show the actual color something is--it's just the way LED lights are. A halogen has nearly the full spectrum (which is why plants grow well with them.) I do like the slightly blue tint a white LED gives and complimented with the warmth of a halogen.

What I am interested in is something to clip on an LED light for the tripod to hold it.

awww.. the one im using actually has a hole in the end so you can mount it right to the tripod.

i understand what you are saying bout the halogens. havent had much luck with that and the tripod. it seems the halogen puts off and orange color and the LED is a blue light. for daytime shots, halogen is the way to go. i use a desklamp for doing so. when it comes to doing night shots (which i tend to be doing alot of lately) LEDs are the way to go.

i will have to full around with the halogen LED mix again. i havent had much luck with it yet though.

Understood.

I should really take a photo of what I use.. it pales in comparison. The halogen is on a cheapy lamp fixture, without any covering. A true bulb, not a halogen stick. It's on a dimmer for the very reason about the orange color. There's been a few times when I want to take shots of Stormtroopers and they look like they are facing a sunrise. (I'll have to post that one)

So what I normally do is hide the halogen behind something, or suspend it over the target. But the dimmer is what I really like.

I do have another light.. I'm a little confused how to call it, it's tungsten, but that's often used in halogen.. anyway, it's like.. as soon as i turn it on, dust turns to flame for a moment, and it's super bright. I'll have to post here the name of it.
