[QUOTE="Federico-Nov, post: 533689, member: 41442"] Let’s see if I understand it well… I have now 3x85 W light bulbs. Let´s say that I add other 6 light bulbs… (USD 60 more or less) it would be a total of 9 light bulbs. Each 85W CFL light should be comparable with a 350W incandescent light… so let’s consider 350W x 9 = 3150 W x second. If I shoot with a shutter speed of 1/200 I’ll have to divide 3150W per 200… This means that I’ll count with miserable 15.75 W in that instant. A speed light flash like Yongnuo will provide for my shoot, I guess, 150 Ws . More or less 10 times the brightness of 9x85W light bulbs at the same price (USD 70 for 560 IV) If I use a cheap 300W strobe, I’ll have 20 times more brightness for 90 USD. Is it correct? Is it really that big the difference between continuous lighting a flashes? I'm thinking to buy the following: YONGNUO YN560 IV Wireless Flash Speedlite Master (USD 70) [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PGTOX26?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_4&smid=AEGVV4PGOU1JM]Amazon.com : YONGNUO YN560 IV Wireless Flash Speedlite Master + Slave Flash + Built-in Trigger System for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Fujifilm Panasonic Digital Cameras : Camera & Photo[/url] Flash Bracket (USD 5.40) [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TYDBYQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_3&smid=A2ME5RDVJD2FKC]Amazon.com: Flash Bracket Swivel Bracket Umbrella Holder Studio Tilting Bracket for Nikon Canon E430 E580 SB600 SB800 SB900 By Fancierstudio Bracket B: Camera & Photo[/url] This cheap bracket will allow me to use the flash on my umbrellas stands.
