I understand there's no one 'way' but a catchy title gets attention. I've worked on six previous books. I have four titles on Amazon (not photography, though--published by McGraw-Hill & Prentice-Hall. Anyone interested in this idea, send feedback. I have a publisher in mind (not 'self-publishing). BTW, my avatar done with indirect sun + diffused built in flash on camera. Sep 07 10 10:46 pm Link BUMP!!!!! Sep 12 10 01:46 pm Link Great Stuff!

While I'm at it, I might as well say that I'd like to see more bodyscapes in this thread. I know that photographers often refer to the lighting placement as too easy or free flowing, but power/camera settings would be good to know too.

Nov 18 10 09:13 am Link ok guys, im not new here, but its my first post so please dont kill me to fast i follow the thread almost from the begining and useing your advices at work in studio. Many times i have problem with my internet conneciton at studio so i cant cheack this thread for some schematics and so on. So yesterday i make myself a PDF wiht i think the best examples from this thread. After that i thought that it would be nice to share that with you as a compendium of the thread, of corse only for private purpose. I hope that i hadn't broke any right makeing that PDF book. If anyone of you want me to delete that file from my server i will do that. here is the file: www.studio-colorbox.pl/data/projekty/st … vanced.pdf Nov 22 10 07:28 am Link  Moderator Warning!Piotr Szmidt wrote: Piotr has approached me via CAM with regards any potential copyright issues that may arise from his creating this PDF of the lighting examples illustrated in this thread.

I used a ringflash off the top right.  The result ... hope ths works... I don't post often enough in the forums  Nov 25 10 02:01 am Link BUMP. Nov 25 10 10:34 pm Link   Nov 26 10 06:11 am Link  Nov 26 10 02:18 pm Link After years of using different lights (even the old Photogenics w power supplys) - I have settled into my favorite lighting.... By hanging a background next to a "sliding deck door" - you get a full 7 feet of soft daylight coming in. The vertical blinds can be used as a "control" - and last but not least; I use a large white reflector on the opposite side of the model. The movement of the reflector can fine-tune your ratio of main-to-fill ..... I love it. A few assumptions = daylight window, not direct sunlight, a fast lens or a higher e.i. - its not as bright as an 800ws strobe. I do find that if I have a dark background w a dark-haired model, some type of hair light is needed. It isnt perfect, but for 80% of portraits, its beautiful. Simplicity. Nov 27 10 11:44 am Link Bump-ity bump bump. Nov 27 10 02:47 pm Link Also: thank you, Piotr! That PDF is going to come in very handy here in my studio. And thanks to all you clever and generous photographers who have shared your amazing tips. I have a very long way to go to get to where many of you are and I really appreciate your insight into such an important aspect of our craft. Happy holidays, everyone.
