Lighting 101

I just learned about a really cool photography lighting site called Strobist. It’s basically hundreds of tips, tutorials, and DIY’s to get professional results with the least gear possible, as well as the least $$$. This is great for the starving student thing I got going on. That’s also a reason I usually only shoot nature landscapes. I found this really informative "basics of lighting" video I thought I’d share, it’s one of the first links in Strobist’s Lighting 101 article. Enjoy.

Now I have a reason to go find my SpeedLite that’s hiding somewhere in my room.

    Strobist is a very popular website. I got my idea for my DIY lighting tent from somewhere else, though. There’s lots of info and books about lighting and whatnot.
