    Strobist ::: Apparatus minor • Cogitatio magis • Lux melior ::: Lighting 101 http://strobist.com ver. 12-2013 Introduction Welcome to Lighting 101. You may not realize it yet, but you have just stepped through a door that may change your photography forever. Over the past few years, over four million people from nearly every country in the world have begun their lighting education right here. And if they can do it, you can do it. Photography is literally writing with light. As you read through Lighting 101 you'll learn how to control every aspect of your electronic flash. If you can imagine it, you'll be able to create it. You'll learn how to take the removable flash that you probably already have on the top of your camera and use it off-camera to make beautiful, more three-dimensional photos. Once you learn the basics of controlling light, you'll quickly see that most lighting is intuitive, easy and fun. The Good News: The Gear Doesn't Cost Much (Photo by Strobist reader Sam Simon) Basic lighting gear is also refreshingly inexpensive. If you have a camera, lens and flash you have already done the spendy part. The gear needed to take your light off-camera is very inexpensive compared to your camera, your flash or even a single lens. By getting your flash off-camera, your images become more three-dimensional, more textural and more professional looking. All of the photos on this page were made by Strobist readers (who very recently may well have been exactly where you are right now) just lighting with small flashes.

Distance also affects effective size. LIGHTING BASICS 2 TYPES OF LIGHTING Sunlight ➜ Direct sunlight is hard (point source) ➜ Sky light is soft Tungsten/halogen lighting ➜ Electricity heats up filament which glows white hot ➜ Small hard source, but easy to add modifiers to direct light ➜ High power usage and heat output Fluorescent lighting ➜ Around 5 times more efficient than tungsten ➜ Complex/unpredictable colour spectrum TYPES OF LIGHTING 3 TYPES OF LIGHTING Flash lighting ➜ Very short high-intensity flash of light — much brighter than practically achievable with continuous lighting ➜ Must be synchronised with camera shutter ➜ hotshoe or X-sync connector ➜ Sometimes combined with a continuous modelling light to allow the photographer to visualise the lighting TYPES OF LIGHTING 4 DIRECTION OF LIGHT From the front: ➜ no shadows, flat From above: ➜ soft light can be useful for fill, like a cloudy sky ➜ hard light casts harsh shadows downwards From the side: ➜ emphasises form and texture From behind (rim lighting): ➜ emphasises the outline of the object ➜ typically use a grid to avoid light hitting the lens directly DIRECTION OF LIGHT 5 SHADOW CONTRAST A single light produces very deep shadows in areas where it does not reach. Reducing shadow contrast: ➜ Add a reflector to bounce light into the shadows ➜ Move the light further
