So I may have stuck my foot into it this time. I'm shooting a pair of musicians in a circa 1930's theater. They've asked me to use my Brownie and Holga.
Theaters are dark - even with the lights on; which means I should also bring external lighting. Except, now that I think about it, I've never used external lights with a film camera.
I have two strobes: Alien Bees B800 and a 580EXii. I also have various cheapo flood lights from Home Depot.
Help? Any thoughts on how I should light this shoot? I'm guessing they want mysterious lighting, but the Holga shoots 1/100 @ *F13 and the Brownie shoots 1/125 @ F11. The Alien Bees is 15O watt max on the modeling lamp - I'm pretty sure I can't use strobes on this shoot. No way to connect the sync cords. I should also note, that Holga and Brownie are best suited for outdoor sunny shooting. This shoot now makes no sense.
Yikes. :shock:
*Some guy took his apart and measured the aperture: Photon Detector: Articles: The facts about Holga apertures
