->> Thought this was pretty cool. http://tinyurl.com/4u6t5x6
These guys used Ipads to light up their subject instead to strobes.

->> Wow- assuming they used a basic iPad, @ $500, that is $4,500 in light. I can buy some great strives for that $$$.

->> Its a marketing ploy and considering almost 200k people have seen the video, the photographer did a good job. :)

->> I have not used an iPad as a light source but I have had to deal with a growing number of keynote speakers using their iPad as a podium mounted teleprompter. This has resulted in giving them voodoo lighting.

->> iPad? What about your iPhone?

*tag this as a lame attempt to get noticed, the practicality of it is questionable and it's more about the camera then the light. But it is impressive.

->> Ryan Brenizer, a well recognized wedding photographer, has also done this...at a much lower cost (one iPad!), with more subtle and very useful lighting techniques. I think it works in these types of situations...in that video though...that's just impractical.
