Managing Instructional Time In The Classroom

I was recommended this lighting kit via B&H when I realized that I needed continuous light for my instructional DVD project since I work during the day and moonlight as a creative. I have never used or purchased lighting before, and was pleasantly surprised by how easy to assemble it was and how it provides the lighting that I need, with switches that turn on/off the lights, 2 at a time. It also gives me the options to use the octagonal shape to reflect the light, a detachable cover for the front with velcro, and another option with a second layer behind it, and also a dish. I mainly use them to light a demonstration I do on a table top, without having to buy time by playing with daylight. It is cool to the touch, and not hot to handle at the base after shooting... Great thus far! My only concern is that I may have to do some post production to tone down the bright coolness that the bulbs give off; my ideal is to go for a natural (tint of warmth yellow) daylight.

I got this, after extensive research, to begin to do instructional videos as well as just use it for family photos. The menus are extensive but easy to figure out and use after a little practice. The touch screen functions are great for those who don't want to spend all their time scrolling. And speaking of the screen, it rotates all the way so you can shoot yourself without guessing if you are in frame. Don't know if I will shoot a lot in $K but the fact it is there means I can use this camera for a long time in the future. Finally, the audio input is what made me switch from my older Sony NEX. I did get a wireless lav microphone setup at the same time.

Short review: If you are serious about your photography, you need this. Updated all the time*Extra tools that really help*Instructional videos that really help* For $120 a year, it actually costs less than what I used to spend on Photoshop and Lightroom on average and I get more.

I use this product for basic mounting of B&W prints. The best thing about the product is the accuracy of the cuts. It worked the very first time just like in the instructional DVD which amazed me. It can also be used for trimming a matt board if needed. A simple product doesn't take up much space in my dark room.

Simple, step by step instructional video included, a must have!

Fits perfectly in the classroom.

I use permanent parkers all the time on craft projects, and things in my classroom. This pack has a wide variety of colors and covers all of my needs.

Bought this cable to get HDMI across a classroom through the ceiling. Worked the first time I plugged it in. Really like these heavy-duty Kramer HDMI cables, especially with the lock system.
