Oct 12 09 03:32 pm Link Can someone 'shed some light' on how they did this?  Oct 12 09 05:22 pm Link I'm extending the thread; I hope it doesn't upset the chronological balance. It's about the illustraotions. What program did you use to get the various icons when illustrating the set ups. It makes the set-ups appear quite clearly.

Here is my simple but effective setup ! Nov 02 09 10:23 pm Link I've found that this setup can make pretty much any situation look f'ing AMAZING. I've been using it non-stop without fail. Split lighting = epic.   Nov 02 09 11:15 pm Link One 60 watt screw in florescent light bulb in a parabolic looking thing I found beside the road.  Nov 04 09 08:39 am Link New photographer and trying hard to get my brain around this whole lighting thing. I bought a continuous lighting set (cheap) that has three lights. They are equiped with the spiral 100W bulbs. However, this does not seem to provide enough light to me although they claim 100Watts each bulb. What type of replacement bubls would you suggest I buy to make this starter set better/brighter? Thanks for any help and also for this wonderful thread on lighting! Nov 04 09 10:31 am Link |
