Back Lighting/lease respond I was wondering if adding a 250 watt smith victor mini boom back light which is tungsten continous lighting be O.k. for my photos? Right now I own a JTL 160 strobe and getting ready to buy another strobe(same kind) and need a background light to keep down shadows. Would this be sufficient enough or should I buy a specific backlight? Also when using a flash meter with this continous back ground light and my strobes would it give an accurate reading? Thanks

No. I would not mix tungsten and strobe light in a studio portrait. If you MUST use the tungsten light, buy a heat proof blue gel to put over it, so that it will be the same color balance as your strobes. Personally, I'd just use one of your strobe lights. Note - your flash/strobe will be controlled by the aperture, while the tungsten light would need to be balanced by your shutter speed. Michael H. Cothran www.mhcphoto.net
