Went to a camera show last weekend in Buena Park to see if I could find some hidden gem hot deals on old strobes, but unfortunately, most of the stuff was priced way to high…except for this giant JTL 85W (425W Equivalent) 5500K fluorescent bulb I found for $15. I’ve been meaning to order one of these for a while now, and not having to pay for shipping definitely sweetens the deal. After I got it home, I decided it would be a good idea to light it, since I’ve been out of practice for a while. I then used the bulb to take some pics of the strawberries I bought that day…with my cameraphone!
Here’s the beast in my hand. Definitely not your average CFL.
Here is the bulb lit with a snooted strobe on the front and a gridded green gelled strobe on the back wall.
Both of these shots were straight out of my Samsung Infuse 4G. Its got an awesome camera to begin with, but with good light, it really shines.
