LCD light vs flash for owl photography

Paul Burdett · Jun 30, 2018

Hi all. I have a Canon 580EXii and a LCD video light that I have just purchased that mounts to my Canon 7Dii hotshoe. Could I get some advice as to which would be better to use after sunset to photograph barn owls and boobook owls. Any camera settings info would also be much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi Paul - I've moved your thread from the Eager to Learn forum to the General Photography forum. Eager to Learn is a critique forum for those starting out, unsure about the critique process or just wanting to take things a little slower. The General Photography forum is a discussion forum. Hopefully, someone with some experience shooting owls will come along and answer your question.

I think you mean LED light, that's a flood light for video. For photography you need to use your 580 flash

Hi Arash. (oops...yes LED) Thank you for the info...much appreciated.

I'd vote for using a flash.

Definitely a flash.
