small budget photography

Ever want to do some photography work without spending a lot of money? How about using some inexpensive lighting equipment?

Worklights are easy to setup and move around and probably some of the most versatile lighting systems you could possibly have actually. They actually have several advantages over common photography lighting:

• Can be used indoors and outdoors in almost all weather
• Extremely durable so there’s no worries packing them and going to other places
• The bulbs are designed to burn for a long time and be extremely bright
• Verastile for placement
• Allow you to be very creative with lighting and always know exactly what the light will look like on your subject
• Outrageously cheap compared to even the cheapest professional lighting options

I have two dual-head setups. Sometimes I just bring one, sometimes two. The lights are halogen. On one set I have two 500 watt bulbs (1000W total) and on the other set I have two 750 watt bulbs (1500W). The 1500W setup is 7ft tall and the 1000W setup is 5ft.

You can easily find a good worklight or two on a tripod for $20-100 (most come in pairs which is good because then you’ll always have a spare light working; studio flash lights do NOT come in pairs). Adding more worklights isn’t a problem.. they cost about $10 a piece if you want an extra one. Worklights usually come with an extra bulb each. If you need to buy another bulb it’ll cost you a whopping $3-5. And yeah, no shipping; you can get worklights at your local Wal-Mart.

Internet users utilize a broad range of operating systems, browsers, screen resolutions, and plug-ins. Nothing is more tedious for Web Developers and QA Engineers then testing HTML and CSS for each possible scenario. All too often comprehensive testing is not feasible, and in the best case takes several hours to properly review and test even a small site. But now with BrowserCam cross-platform compatibility checking is fast and easy.
