Just a question, has anyone heard of the "guerilla lighting" technique? I've read it in other forums but they didn't specify what it was. Was wondering if anyone would know and perhaps, would like to share? ;)

Also, there's another thing, if don't mind. I don't have lights (strobes) and my friend would like me to take some product shots for the web. I was thinking of using hot lights for this. I'd appreciate your recommendations and suggestions.

TIA

Guerilla LightingLighting where there is no "shore power", and batteries just aren't possible. I made a sunset in the middle of a wheat field, when the director wasn't thinking about the nearest power source, out of stuff in the back of my car!

Thanks Barb42! Appreciate the reply and the link. :D I read somewhere that in using the guerilla technique, you get to use only 1 light source and probably a reflector or two. I don't know though if the true essence of the technique is in the angles and variations of it.

Again, thanks for the reply.

Anymore opinions? :)
