A simple, economical and essential accessory for the photographer. So can we summarize the 5-in-1 110cm batter sent by eMania?Photo and video. This batter, as the name suggests, has 5 functions: gold batsman, silver batter, white batter, black batsman and announcer screen. There are several examples of usage and how the results look when using such a paste in an earlier article here in the DG, written by Carla Pedraca.
This 5-in-1 110 cm batter is packed in a comfortable round bag just 40 cm in diameter and consists of a removable outer part where the 4 batters are located (at first glance it is black on one side and silver on the other, upside down it turns white on one side and golden on the other) and a circular frame that exposes the diffuser screen when the outside is released with the fleece where there are two handles in opposite senses. I will briefly explain the 5 functions in the following paragraphs.
- Golden strike? It is often used to give warm tones to the scene.
- Leaving the skin with a more golden tone.
- With this batter it is possible.
- Even within a photographic studio.
- To artificially simulate the light found at dusk.
Silver batsman? You can improve scene contrast by providing cooler light, if used correctly. With it, it is possible to increase certain reflections and produce high contrast tones that are particularly useful for black and white photographs.
White batsman? Similar to the silver batsman, but does not improve contrast, it simply reflects light in a more natural and smooth way, maintaining a neutral tone depending on the light source used.
Black batsman? It has a function unlike other batsmen, takes care of absorbing the light, can be used to remove any unnecessary light source that affects the luminosity where the subject is being photographed.
Station screen? Unlike the others, it’s not a hitter. The main function of the diffuser is to widen the hard light, make it softer and increase the range of this light, in this way it is possible to illuminate the subject to photograph in a more uniform way. It is especially useful for outdoor photos, as it makes intense sunlight a soft natural light that illuminates the model without unwanted shadows.
Do circular batsmen are usually difficult to close, do you have to train a lot until you catch it?Morning? To close them, especially those less than 60 and 80 cm However, it seems that the larger the diffusers, the easier it is to close them. EMania’s 5-in-1 110cm batter?
