Here is a photo tutorial of what I did for an umbrella mount on my 500 watt halogen shop light. Materials were less then $10. The umbrella was purchased used for $15, shop light was $30. So for a total of $55 I have a setup that gives me these result: //www.pbase.com/image/10654688
I'll go back to Home Depot and get the part numbers and prices and do a tutorial for Drew to post.
Here's the tutorial: //www.parisdesignonline.com/dpc
Good Luck!

| So these work lights... are they very "sunlight colored" or what? How do they effect the white balance? |

Not sure the answer to your question, but here is a great page on lighting and such: //www.picturethings.com/light.htm

Modified the bracket a little so the umbrella can move closer to the lamp. Updated pictures online too.

Great job Danny. Both with the setup and tutorial. That must be your new tripod too.

I use one occasionally (now I must build the umbrella). They are definitely a different colour temp to an incandescent light - although I think you can buy different temperature globes for them.
It's not a big problem for me though - I use a CoolPix 995 and I just tell it to measure the whitebalance against a grey card. Even on Auto it normally get's it right anyway though.
Last night I did a macro of a coin... I sat it on some black card, sat a piece of foam board about 20cm above it. Shone the worklight in and up from one side and it lit the coin beautifully. Plus the foam board leaves no funny reflections in the coin. |
