I am using cheap lights right now. They actually work pretty well but for the fact that the light is bouncing off the fake wooden wall behind me (me being the 'actor' in this shot). It really bothers me to see this white circle against the wall which is clearly coming from the light in front of me. I put a small latern there to make it look like the light was coming from the latern...but it still bugs me.
I was thinking of the use of umberellas that might tone down this light while still keeping me well lit. I would like to try an umberella except for the fact that no one sells white umberellas that I could clamp onto the side of this light.
So 2 questions really: Is there a place to just purchase a white umberella to clamp on? Or is there something else I can do to get rid of that white blur on the wall from the light? I did move the light to get rid of that blur but it defeated the purpose as I, the subject was no longer well lit.
Thanks.
Maybe soon I will invest in some inexpensive lighting system...but for now I want to try to work with what I have.
