Continuous lighting is recommended for beginners. Strobe lighting uses a flash of light at the moment your camera shutter opens to illuminate your subject. Many professionals use this type of lighting because it offers more control of the light.One advantage of using continuous lighting over strobe lighting is that you can see the highlights and shadows on the object either directly or on the camera’s monitor. This allows you to adjust the light to produce the effect you want without having to wait until the picture is developed.When using continuous light modifiers are often used to help diffuse light suitable for certain types of photographs. Modifiers provide a great variety of effects possible with continuous light sources.The high-output daylight balanced compact fluorescent bulbs are ideally suited for digital photography.
