just in case anybody gives a flying fuck
 

At ASA 100 and 1/15 second:

f4 = 10 footcandles
f5.6 = 20footcandles
f8 = 40 footcandles
f11 = 80 footcandles
f16 = 160 footcandles
f19
(between f16 and f22) = 240 footcandles

Cool.... now if I actually took pics, this might make more sense.

Thanks...I was just wondering about that earlier :winkwink:

He's gettin some num nums ;) :thumbsup

im new ... foot candles?

Great,that's been bothering me for years

Sweet, now I can sleep better at night...

Honestly thanks. My wife can use that information for sure.

I used FC's in TV lighitng and now I use F stops... I needed to know what in the hell was going on :)

me too :thumbsup

I wanna suck on them too :(

seriously, can I get a little elaboration...

google is your friend

fuck google... Ive heard from some that you bm are one of the best to learn lighting from...

I know what f stops are but i havent heard foot candle...

Are these secret encoded plans you're posting for the benefit of your socialist ACORN buddies?

:) FC's are just another way to measure light.... that's all. not really relevant to shooting with a DSLR. for instance when I worked on sitcoms we put the keys at about 70fc's and the fill around 40fc, on the news the keys came in at 100fc's and the backlights at 125fc's.

I haven't used a foot candel meter since the TV days. the last film I worked on we metered using F stops (think it was 'jack frost' with michael keaton) the set I was working on was llit at F 5.8 @ 500 asa, which is pretty unusual for a film. most films are lit between F2 and F4 with clarity and detail pulled with shutter speed from what I can figure out.

I'm buying a new light monday that is rated in FC's, that's why I looked all this crap up... the light puts out a 9.1 circle at 10 feet with 520 FC; here's some FC info.

awesome, thanks bm :thumbsup

Just use the auto setting.


.

First off... its not about shooting that gave a shit about. It was purely to know what is what.

second... I very rarely use auto. Im all about manual. I like to fuck with depth and everything involved... Cant do that at will with auto
