A great way to learn lighting...

..is to look at what everyone else is up to. Whether that be reading Strobist, trying to get inside the head of Joe McNally etc.

Trade Secret Cards now have a collection of lighting related cards. The picture on one side and the diagram of how it was done on the other. It's an excellent idea.

You can read the Strobist post here.

The incline to 2010 begins here.

I'm off to join the British Institute of Professional Photographers today, I'm actually quite excited.

From crisis through to resolve

For the last couple of weeks I hit a real creative rut. Horrible it was too. In hindsight it's good to go through these things. A complete month of downtime with the camera wasn't what I had in mind but it was a great way to do things.

Yesterday was a major turning point when I watch Zack Arias video that he did for Scott Kelby's guest blogger segment. As I've been busy with other things over the last few weeks I haven't really had chance to look at photographic blogs or the like.

If you are in creative industry, Zack's video is a must see.
