One of the biggest lessons I have earned at this site, is that good light is good light. Light that is available from the sun, overhead lights or the strobes in your bag are all viable sources.

Merely my opinion but …

Nearly all of the images on my website are natural light. I spent the first 20+ years of my career lighting w/strobe in the studio and location. The last 10 has been a mix but I try hard to find light and work it well.

There are a couple crucial reasons why I abandoned strobe as my “go to” source.

1) it makes non professional subjects much more nervous.
2) In general, they simply don’t recycle fast enough.

There are some models that will recycle nearly as fast as a slow “motor drive” (I realize this is a antiquated term) but only at a very low power setting and there is still reason #1 – give me the manufacturer who can match 5-7 frames / sec. and I’ll take back this comment.

My second choice for lighting are a virtual tie with LED’s and CFL’s – either daylight or tungs balance (HMI for the big jobs).

The difference between a great shot and a good shot can be a fraction of a second: fleeting expressions and body positions, not to mention what is happening with ancillary subjects and ambient conditions. Shoot more than one person and this rises on a logarithmic scale – true?

List the advantages that your digital camera has over your film version – not many right? The BIG ones are speed & quantity of consecutive frames. Why then do you want to give up that advantage by using a cumbersome light? If you don’t have a really good reason (freezing a fast moving subject for example) then why use it? My point: make sure you have a good reason before you give up what digital does well.
