		<description><![CDATA[One thing that seems to baffle a lot of new photographers is understanding the term "stop" as it pertains to a measurement of light. We see this word used over and over with regards to shutter speed, aperture, film speed, filters, lighting, and other ways that light is used. You may hear a phrase like "you should expose one side of face 1-2 stops under the lit side of the face and expose the background 1 stop under the main subject". For many people that's about like asking them to solve a complex calculus problem.]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>In this episode I am joined by Syl Arena from Paso Robles California who is an excellent photographer and one of the people that has really been an inspiration to me in using small speedlites for on-location lighting. Syl gained some internet fame by ganging a dozen speedlites together to demonstrate high speed syncing techniques that can turn full daylight into night and allow how super fast shutter speeds.

Syl's new book LIDLIPS Lessons I Didn't Learn In Photo School is available on Amazon for only $13.45.

Be sure and check out Syl's websites: http://pixsylated.com and  http://speedliting.com
Autographed copies of LIDLIPS can be ordered here on PixSylated.
Here are several brand-new pages with Syl's thoughts on Speedliting gear  from Speedliting.com
Speedlite-mounted Light Modifiers
Umbrellas, Softboxes &#38; Beauty Dishes for Speedlite
E-TTL Cords, Sync Cords &#38; Hotshoe Adapters
Going Wireless: E-TTL, Optical Slaves &#38; Radio  Triggers

Many new photographers are completely unfamiliar with how to do portrait lighting and so they don’t even try leaving the current trend of wedding photography to be that of photo-journalism instead of being a mix of styles including traditional portraits. In this article we are going to try to teach you the typical lighting ratios that are used in portraiture.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have heard the phrase “I don’t need no stinking light meter” more times than I can count, your LCD display and histogram are all you need for a perfect exposure right? Would you be surprised if I told you that your camera was lying to you? We first need to know why our LCD and histogram is wrong before we can believe that using a light meter will be of benefit.]]></description>

First off you have to go to the right page (linked here) and then click on the thumbnail for Camera Dojo as shown in the next image. From there you are only a click away from casting your vote. We really appreciate your support and maybe even win an award. Thanks for voting!]]></description>

"Hey Guys,

I got a question for ya. Sorry the answer to this might already be on your site somewhere but I'd just thought I would msg you instead. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for photography books either having to do w/ business or the technical side of things. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever shopped for a flash or read a review, you may have noticed a section of the spec called the guide number or GN. While this value is a measurement of power that the flash has and allows you to compare flash models, is this number useful to you at all? In this article we dig into the guide number and see how we can use this number help us dial in our flash and camera settings using some math instead of just guessing and retrying until you get what you want.]]></description>

This time I want to talk about the three primary properties of light, and since what we are doing as photographers is recording light, it is important to know how these properties play into getting a good image. While I had studied this before, attending a recent seminar from Ed Pierce made me realize that many reader may never have seen these concepts before.]]></description>

Since I haven't been able to attend one in a while I was thrilled that Ed Piece's Captivated by the Light workshop was coming to my town. Be sure and check it out if it is coming to your area. Ed is a master of light and technique. He shows you have to light a subject properly for the most flattering angles.]]></description>

The final width comes in at twelve feet and the shooting area is fifteen feet from the main shooting wall.

Unfortunately its not going to be as nice as this shot of 8443 Warner, but hay, someday right? So where are we and what have we had to do so far?

My wife won't let me kick any of the kids out of their bedrooms and she won't let me take over the larger living room. This left two options, 1) Rent a space somewhere, 2) Build a new studio in the garage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first of our Mythbusting series we are going to look at a common myth that you should always use the lowest ISO number possible to get the best results This is based on the knowledge that the higher the ISO number you use, the more noise (digital artifacts) will be created in your image While this is certainly true, what we are going to examine in this article is wether or not you should always shoot in the lowest ISO number your camera can handle in order to get the best images Will this myth be confirmed or busted?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do a lot of product work and getting the lighting right is always a challenge because different types of objects will reflect light differently. A very dark object may need a lot more light on it to pull out the detail where a shiny object may cause you all kinds of grief with reflections. Often, getting things just right is just a matter of trial and error, but starting with a decent setup can save you tons of work later. Today we will dissect a recent product shoot and see why I decided to use flash heads.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A photographic umbrella (known as a brolly in some places) is exactly what it sounds like, just like the umbrella you would use in the rain except these are designed to bounce, reflect, or soften a light source. There are two basic types of umbrellas, bounce and shoot thru. A bounce umbrella is one that you aim the light into and bounce back towards the subject and a shoot thru umbrella is where the light is aimed at the subject through the umbrella making the umbrella act like a large softbox.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is a snoot? Simply put, a snoot is a tubular structure that is used to limit the throw of a light source to create a narrow beam of light. While commercial snoots are actually pretty affordable, from $14 to about $20, so why would we want to make our own? Because we know what we want and because for $20 we can make a dozen or more experimental ones and end up with a handful that we could use in different situations. So guys. go break into the wife's scrapbooking supplies and get ready to make your own customized flash snoot.]]></description>

What is nice is that he doesn't rely on a truckload of equipment, often its just one or two lights with umbrellas (brollys), reflectors, or gells.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Natural light can be your friend or your enemy depending on how you approach it. The biggest mistake people make is thinking that the sun is a giant soft light in the sky. While the Sun is over 92 million miles away, if you hold your thumb up to the sun at high noon, it appears to only be the size of your thumbnail making it a VERY small spotlight which causes very harsh shadows.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most common mistake in doing a portrait is to use an on-camera flash. While an on-camera flash will illuminate a subject well, the direct head-on light will wash out all the shadows making the face look flat. So our first rule is to have the key light off to the side of the subject's face.

		<description><![CDATA[As I have said before, I am a huge fan of saving money where ever and whenever you can.....if it makes sense. Let's talk about lighting and why doing this on the cheap is so hard. Lightbulbs suck. There, I said it, plain and simple. I have tried probably 20 different lightbulbs this past year, bright white, daylight, you name it, if it claimed to be some form of daylight bulb, I have tried it. The end result of over $100 in light bulb purchases this year? Cheap daylight bulbs all over the house, and the purchase of decent studio lights. Why didn't these lights work?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I basically started off my photography journey doing product shots for some hobby websites I had. I was competing against big print magazines so I always strived to come up with product shots that were as good or better than what the big guys were doing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure a nice set of Alien Bee's may be in your Amazon wish-list waiting for you to win the lottery in order to afford them. If you are just getting started, you don't need to spend that kind of money on some basic lighting.

If you aren't an avid eBay'er, this isn't a bad time to get started, but you can find all of the components you need at your local stores. ]]></description>
