Ok, this may be a dumb question but I have tried searching and I am clueless about lighting, but I am just wondering what are the pros and cons having either a fluorescent or tungsten light? I know that Tungsten produces hard light and Fluorescent produces soft.
Also, in the realm of Tungsten, what wattages are recommended. I've read somewhere that having (1) 200-250 watt, (2) 500 watts and (1) 1000 Watt is good for starters. Just looking to see what works for others here. By the way, for the most part I will be shooting shorts indoors in small spaces but would not mind having a 1000 watt light just in case we do shoot in larger rooms. Then again, if I do go the fluorescent route, how many lights, fixtures, etc. is recommended?
My main dilemma is just trying to figure which route to go, Tungsten or Fluorescent?
Thanks in advance for nay help.
