Lighting Fundamentals & Techniques

Learn why manual spectral control beats auto-exposure for time-lapse: prioritize SPD and skin tones, lock white balance and exposure, and use high-CRI lighting.

Learn to light newborns safely with accurate skin tones: validate spectra, match CCT, control heat, keep 500-800 lux, and log setups for consistent results.

Preserve natural skin tones and accurate star color in light-polluted scenes with SPD-aware lighting, TM-30 checks, and dual-exposure calibration.

Freeze motion in tight spaces using ultra-short flash durations, event triggers, and smart power budgeting - measure, underexpose, and control spill.

Maintain color fidelity underwater with in-camera strategies: smart light placement, power and thermal control, white balance, and ambient compensation.
