So, on 06/28/2010 I finished taking an Advanced Lighting Class at Photobarn where I learned a lot of valuable lighting tricks, tips and techniques. The instructor was great and made himself available even after the class was over to critique pictures, provide information on various photography items and guide me on some lighting purchases. On 07/02/2010 I decided to purchase a lighting kit, white balance card, reflector, synch cords etc. I've learned that lighting is everything and I am on a mission to understand how to use the light that is available (natural light) as well as studio lights. Above is a picture of the studio I created in my basement....now I just need a few more models besides my kids as they are very hard to control in a studio shoot but are great outdoors. Is tried shooting this picture without a flash but it came out too dark and I would have had to put my camera on an tripod. So, this picture was shot in manual mode at 1/50 shutter speed, f4.0 ISO 1600, AWB (auto white balance) and the on camera flash.
