As a past professional and a current digital want to be professional, I am constantly looking for interesting educational sites. I am amazed at the number of high quality sites that are out there in Web-Land. I just discovered your site and must admit that I think it is the best site on lighting that I have seen thus far. Those of us who have been doing photography for some time know that lighting is one of, if not, the key component to great photography. Please keep up the good work continuing provide quality Lighting Information.

Fun to hear you talk through that lighting. The strobe/speedlight combo is interesting as well.

Nice post, I enjoyed how you set these shots up. It would make it even better for my if you threw in a lighting diagram for some of the more complicated ones…just a thought, I understand the work involved.

Thanks

Love the blonde model portrait. Interesting that it was done with an umbrella because I usually do these shots with a beauty dish. An umbrella is much more portable of course and easier to bring along, especially for wedding photography portraits of the bride.

I love the posts like these, Don – more about the “why” of the light than the “how”. I always learn a new way of looking at a shot

keep ‘em coming! more more more!
