A fellow photographer friend of mine recommended that a few of try out some of these LED continuous lights. I finally dove in and thought, this may help me with practicing lighting set ups on a smaller scale so I do not have to bring out the big lights (I normally shoot with Alien Bees). The lights I invested in were
Neewer® Pro CN-160 LED camera video lamps. I bought three of them. Rough part with these lights, is that at full power, they only can do about f5.6 (maybe f8) if I shoot at ISO400. I really prefer to shoot at ISO100 since I have an older camera and noise starts to show up at ISO400. But since these are practice runs, and these images will not be used for publication, the slower f-stops should not be a problem (except for DOF).
SO now for images....

A mini set up with the NEEWER PRO lights and some backdrop
light stands. Amazon only let me order three of the stands.
Cannot wait to order more stands so I can make a mini
backdrop holder and then have all three of my
lights independent.

All three lights, one of them gelled with the warm filter.
Reflector camera left. |
 |
| Removed reflector and one of the lights. |
 |
| Two lights and ambient light from open window. |
 |
Blocked window light and used only two lights.
Again, the one camera right is gelled. |
