Using LitraTorch™

It’s compact, rugged, and waterproof—you can easily mount it on any surface during your video production. This means it is also great for underwater captures. With its quick on-and-off single button, you can switch to its three different light settings:

The first setting has 100 lumens
The second setting has 450 lumens
The third setting has 800 lumens

You could tell that LitraTorch™ can get really bright, similar to an actual studio lighting. Also, LitraTorch™ 2.0 is designed with 90+ Collar Rendering Index (CRI), which makes the LED light’s color extremely accurate. You won’t get any weird color shifts when filming, especially when shooting skin tones. Plus, you can get the most out of your LitraTorch by altering the color of its light. You can add some filtered gels to get a variety of light effects on your photoshoot or film. Because of LitraTorch's smooth and blended lux beam, you don’t have to worry about any kind of center hotspot.

How to Light Your Macro Photography

Did you know that shooting with old vintage DSLR lenses can make great models for macro photography? It's because they are beautifully built with intricate details, which showcase the subjects when shot with a macro lens. Another great thing about macro photography is that you don’t need a large space. When you shoot during the dark wintertime, you might get a less than glamorous setting. So, it might be ideal to shoot inside a studio. However, you can use specific lighting strategies to help make the space look a little cooler. You can use three different lighting setups when shooting:

A single lighting setup
A two-light setup
A more traditional three-light setup

Remember that having a continuous light source gives you control over several different lighting characteristics. You can also see how moving the light around can have a dramatic impact on your image. Let’s talk about the gear. You can use a good full-frame camera that will work perfectly with your vintage macro lenses. Now, lighting can be huge for macro work, which is a bit funny because the gear you’ll use is relatively small. That’s why Litra lighting tools are perfect for macro photography. You can use the 3 versions such as the LitraTorch™, LitraTorch™ 2.0, and LitraPro™ to complete your three different lighting setups. The Litra lighting setup is significantly small yet powerful. Plus, you won’t have any cables to fuss over. They do make the lighting portion of macro shooting much easier. Now, you might say this a bit of a lazy process but hey, you gotta work smarter not harder. So, on your first set up, use the single version of LitraTorch™ as a key light tool with a diffuser to soften the intensity. The diffusion will spread light across a larger surface area, making it look more natural and aesthetically pleasing. In the second setup, which is the two-light setup, you can experiment in the color—adding colored lighting to macro photography can help make a shot stand out. You can do this by adding gels or colored filters to your lighting gear. The final lighting setup that you can use is more traditional—you can use three different versions of LitraTorch™ as your key light, fill light, and accent or colored light. Such setup is very compact and easy to adjust even though you’ve got three lights going. You see, using LitraTorch™ means no more challenges on bulky, hard to control lights that usually make your limited space even more limited. Notice how using these small yet powerful lights will make your macro photography way easier yet more beautiful.
