The setup
Whilst this subject was very well
illuminated in sunlight, we found
a small, portable LED light helped
significantly in making the light
more even, filling in the shadows
left by the sun. In many other
situations this additional light
might be even more important and
a small ‘Gorillapod’ was perfect at
holding it in position. The addition
of a second small LED light can
not only add more output, but also
give you some creative options in
terms of a lighting ratio.With macro photography adding
extra light can be super usefulAdding some
