Thanks. I learned a lot from an award-winning cinematographer. He really showed me how to see light and pay attention to it. I still feel I've only scratched the surface. Very, very few people understand light and how it works.

Isn't it funny how we will NEVER know EVERYTHING about lighting? I often go out late at night and just shoot different light. Like my fav light beams through fog...

I LOVE the look it creates and want to try and duplicate it. I always carry my Nikon 990 with me and often shoot someone Im having dinner with at Denny's because of how the light looks on them. And I make notes. Have a library of lighting set ups that I want to play with.

The TRUE education like MOST education doesn't take place in a classroom it takes place in the field is my personal thinking.

Yeppers, a 'GWC' is simply a guy that calls himself a 'photographer' in an attempt to get 'em naked and/or attempting to meet models to score a date.

A wider definition of a 'GWC' also includes the people that run out and buy a camera and instantly claims professional status, while their portfolio (if they have a portfolio) displays photos that can be ranked 'amateur' quality at best.

AH HA ! I finally found my niche!

Seriously, I like your images. More work, more practice, and you too an call yourself a PGWC - That is Professional Guy with Camera!
