Strobes Light Quality

[fruehaufsteher2]

I believe that when assessing the quality of light, you shouldn't focus so much on the technical specifications of the flash units, but rather think about what the light from the flash unit should actually achieve. You can use photography above the surface of the water as an easy guide.
The subject should be illuminated and glow. This is possible with any flash tube, and also straight ahead from the front - you wouldn't even need flash arms.

But our viewing habits expect the light to come from above, evenly from a large light source. This also means that we have smaller differences in brightness on the subject and can assess details better. This is easier with round flash tubes. Photography above water therefore also likes to use softboxes, which would be somewhat unwieldy in water.

 

I'm so happy with my Pro Max! 🙂
