Lighting 102

So, what is lighting 102 all about?

First of all Lighting 102 has nothing to do with me.

It is the brainchild of David Hobby, a Baltimore Sun photographer, who writes and teaches photographers to get those small strobes (What we English call flash guns) off the hot shoe of your camera and into a place that will improve the lighting quality of your photograph. No more burnt out faces staring back at you with red eye thrown in for good measure. As a bonus he does not like spending loads of cash on equipment to make all of this possible. What a guy!!!
This blog is not going to echo David’s good work and excellent web site, visit his site by clicking on the “Strobist” link to the right of the page and learn direct from the master. If your new to using flash with your camera see his pages on “Lighting 101″, by far the best primer on flash photography on the web.

David’s latest venture is a new teaching series that is inter-active with participants from around the globe posting their photos on Flickr and on their personal blogs just to share this wonderful learning experience. This new series is just about to start and I hope to post some of my lighting exercises on this blog. Feel free to join in, leave comments and generally participate. Just remember, when you get addicted to off-camera flash photography and it starts to take over your life - blame David and not me.
