I've been adding new tutorials on my blog every few days. There is a thread two lighting tutorials where if someone posts I will describe the light. The only thing I don't want to do is include a lighting diagram. The way you learn light is seeing, trying, doing. Seeing a diagram gives you the impression if you plunk a light here and there you'll be able to reproduce the same thing. Look in the eyes, read the light and shadow, and you'll lock down the why and how to light . Photoshop makes it a bit or lot harder, as when I learned light there was less serious chopping going on.

The links are on my profile page. OR post to the forum here or my thread when I started.

Amazing thread. Like others I keep coming back.
Is it just me, or do others also find that at times the simple lighting is the more interesting?
Once again time to run a lighting workshop for the camera club.
Always recommend that people check out this thread, and then do the workshop. This time it will be 4 workshops, plus a final group shoot.
1-3 will be classroom, lecture style, with some input from participants.
4- will be a mix.
5- the group shoot will be up to them, with help from those of us with a little more experience.

And I keep referencing this thread to any of the lighting participants. It has become a lighting course.

Of course they are useful. Well done, a bit short but it puts good information with pictures about pictures, and the diagrams are self explanatory.

If anyone ever needed an excuse to purchase the Elinchrom 74" Octabank, this shot should do.

Very well done.
