Personal Lesson in Lighting

I thought I would head down to the library and take a few pictures of things that looked smart. I contemplated taking my tripod but figured it would only get in the way. “There should be plenty of light in the building, plus I have my off camera flash.” Well here is what I learned:

No-Rip Nylon

Lighting and diffusion are very important when taking pictures and for those of us that are financially limited it is difficult to buy some of the professional lighting that is available, especially the quality equipment. However, there are options… It is easy enough to make a light stand with items from Home Depot such as [...]

No Clear Focal Point
