LIGHTING Basics On the Net Studio Lighting - making the equipment decision: Online version of my article published in Digital Photo Pro about choosing studio flash systems. http://photo.net/learn/lighting/choosin … -lighting/ Garry Edwardsâ excellent overview of studio lighting from Photo.net. Strobist: Blog about lightweight, inexpensive lighting solutions that give expensive looking results. (Especially see the Lighting 101 lessons.) An intro to studio lighting equipment. Photo.net article by Garry Edwards and Brooks Short. Covers the basics of what studio gear does, and introduces many of the standard terms and equipment used. The Lighting Themes on Studio Lighting and Equipment go into more depth. ( Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5) ProPhotoLifeâs Studio Lighting Equipment Guide Part 1 (Lights and basic modifiers) and Part 2 (Softboxes, Light Stands, and Booms). Lighting Essentials Blog. Many tutorials and videos on lighting using natural light and studio lights. StudioLighting.net Professional Photography 101 Lighting Tutorials Mark Wallace's One on One video on lighting equipment. PhotoflexLightingSchool.com Broncolor's Modifier Comparison page shows the results from different light shapers compared to each other. Sekonicâs PDF guide to using light meters and histograms Don't forget the Search function. Searches for 'strobe', 'flash', 'light', 'âmonolight', 'alien bee', etc. will find a plethora of pertinent posts. BOOKS People should consider reviewing these books before asking basic questions. It is extremely difficult--not to mention inefficient--to learn the basics online. You are wasting more people's time while the books are already out there. BOOKS Consider studying these books. It is extremely difficult--not to mention inefficient--to learn the fundamentals from a Q&A session in an online forum. You are wasting a lot of time--yours and other peoples'--while guides that have collected and organized the information are already out there. * Fil Hunter and Paul Fuqua's Light--Science and Magic. Discusses all the technical fundamentals of lighting. (Still not sure? See this MM Thread on Light Science and Magic, or this review of LSM) * Ross Lowell's Matters of Light and Depth. Originally written for cinematographers, Matters of Light and Depth discusses more of the mood, emotional, and reactive responses to lighting. Works extremely well in conjunction with Light-Science and Magic. The LightingMods blog reviews both of the above (and some other good lighting books). (Last updated 5/3/2009) Back to top
