New Project - Creative Lighting

So I've been reading The Strobist to learn more about the subject of lighting. I like the way he suggests techniques and equipment on a budget. One can start with the Lighting 101 Archive and simply read thru the subjects. I’ve ordered and just received the compact kit – umbrella & stand, clamp. Pretty inexpensive way to modify and mold light, and you can use the sun as one of the light sources. My two flashes talk to each other and can be dialed up & down to allow more creative control. Possibilities abound. Add www.strobist.blogspot.com to your blog list and sign up for the newsletter. To see a simple setup using an umbrella, off-camera flash, and multiple viewing angles, go the site and on the right is the On-Assignment Archive. Click on the down arrow and find “Light the Little Stuff” to see what I’m talking about. Pretty cool stuff. And portable. So here’s the project. It’s about using a flash. First, read a bit on the Strobist site. Then, using materials on hand, create a photograph that uses reflectors, cookies, gobos - any or all of the above. Share it on the Yarmouth Photo Group blog. Remember to pat Mel on the back for getting us back in the game. Project: read about lighting, get inspired, shoot using 3 sources of light - the sun, your flash, and a reflector. That's it!
