Hi guys...
can someone help me with this studio lighting dilemma... I am a bit confused on the whole ratio thing...
I set up two studio lights (500 watt with soft box, 250 watt with umbrella)...
I set the 500 watt so I got a reading of 5.6 - and then turned the 250 watt on and set it to slave so they both went off and my reading was 11 (well, I kept moving it until I got 11)...
This is for my assignment and I think I may have done it wrong (after watching someone else in my class)...
I have just gone to write my assignment up, and am kinda stuck...
I think if my main light (500 watt) was 5.6 - and I got an overall 11 - does that mean that my fill light was 8?
and would that make it a 1:1 ratio or a 1:2 ratio?
hopefully someone can help me - I have no more classes between now and when it is due....
