But my piece during our college day was included in the best 10 pictures. It’s a one day life experience of your subject. I totally agree with you when you keep your lighting simple, as you said “Always proceed with one light at-a-time, keeping things simple”. I have read many articles about lighting and most of them do not really explain the basics, which I think you did. Your post will be a lot of help to beginners as it is presented in a clear, precise and simple manner. I had a photography class in college and I am not saying that I am an expert.

The last photo of the girl holding the dog looks really effective. Thanks I have learnt a few little tips here. At the moment I am trying to do a lot of sports photography, so lighting can be a little tricky. I am focusing on cycling so you often don't have too many chance for a re-shoot as they fly past so quickly. I'll test out some of your methods though for my portrait shoots as this is an area I am looking to move into. At the moment photography is purely a hobby for me, but perhaps one day I will have my own site giving others tips. Thanks again for the read. All the best Bill Jenkins Webmaster, BestLawnMowerReviews.net Hi Andrew.

There is no exact calculation or formula of a perfect shot or perfect lightening, its just a matter of correct moment and your choice of lightening...
