I have been looking for portable, continuous lighting to use in an outside shoot (abandoned warehouse) . As I am at the absolute beginning of the learning curve of photography any advice would be appreciated on using the following type of items:
AE0183 Rechargeable LED Work Light 10W 12 / 240V
Defender E709180 LED Work Light 2.4W 230V
Much like the £15 tripod I brought first to learn whether it is an item I need to spend more/further money on and actually get valued use from, I aim to do the same with lighting.
I lean towards using continuous lighting as it will give me the opportunity to see the direction of lighting rather than having to visualize it and play around with plenty of guess work. I would naturally diffuse the light with filters/softboxes.
Purchasing lighting which has to be plugged in is of no use to me at this time, I do not have an inside location to shoot and I am usually by myself when at outside locations so getting a second person to lug equipment is certainly not going to happen.
My true question is, will using these LED lights hinder me more than help me slowly edge my way forward?
Currently I am using a Sony A58 DSLR with a 18-55 & a 55-300
I appreciate any help or advice you may have.
