Using the LitePanels Micro


Munchkin, originally uploaded by ilenesamowitzphoto.

Here is an image I made of my gorgeous tortoiseshell cat using my new Micro Litepanels light. It is a LED lamp with a dimmer switch. I got it for it's portability as well as its ability to work with any camera. I have several Nikon flashes but when I use my beloved Olympus EP-1, I only have a very small external flash. It is also nice to have something that is constant. This image of Muchkin was taken inside using Auto White Balance with the EP-1. You can see the shape of the light panel in the catch light of her eye. So far, I am pleased with the results.
