Glad you dropped by. This is my love and my muse. We talk about photography here, as well as the folks who make images. I am very focused on commercial and fine art photography, and we don't really spend all that much time on weddings and such. I have written 5 books - two I give away here, and two are for sale at Amazon, and the 5th one is being edited and designed right now! Thanks for visiting, leave a comment or join me the social networks...
Love it, thanks!
Great tool Don.
this is awesome…been looking for something that will allow my students to prevision their setups!
psst. theres a ‘C’ missing in the word ‘object’
“Select an image set and objet to add”
I love your website and read every story posted but I never commented mainly because I was always out of words and a complete amateur in photography
Very useful tool for keeping track of lighting setups. Link the setup jpeg to the image file and you will always have a handy reference.
Is it me or is anyone else not getting this to work for them………..
I choose background, then I select backdrop, but as soon as I select it, it pops back to
select an item and nothing shows in the box.

Can you provide better simple step by step instructions for using your diagram tool. I am 69 years old and do not understand very well how to use this computer. Thank you. Carl Eggers
Hi Carl.
Just choose the lighting tool you want to diagram with, drag it into position and click. You can click it again and rotate it or move it again. That’s it, really. Keep choosing the ones you want till you have the diagram where you want it, and then save it as a jpeg for your files.
Super teaching tool. Should be useful in helping understand short and broad lighting, key and fill light, etc. Thanks!
Holy cow this is so helpful! I was trying to draw this by hand for my shoot this weekend with a model. Awesome. Thanks for sharing it.
There’s also an App for the iPhone that does this I think it’s called Strobox
