In the last L102 post, we talked about some of the problems we have to face when gelling to work under fluorescent light. Gelling for tungsten yields similar, but different problems.
Fortunately, tungsten is easier — and more forgiving.

The Strobist is on DVD
Posted on: 26 September 2008
Ok, so I’m a little late. Actually I’m a lot late. I just found out that the Strobist has produced and made avaialble to the public Lighting Seminar DVDs. If you haven’t been able to attend a Strobist Workshop (as I have not), fear not–you can get the seminar to come to you.
For more information and details see Strobist.com.
Additionally, Shutterfug has received a copy of the DVDs and will be sharing findings through Shutterfug.com.
In terms of value for money, however, it will very much depend on your experience already. This eight DVD set is certainly much cheaper than many of the other instructional lighting sets on the market and I’ll review the three, “sets,” as I get through them. [via Shutterfug]

Strobist has been experimenting with the LumiQuest SoftBox III
I personally don’t like to have a lot of equipment to lug around with me in order to get a decent shot. I’ve learned to use natural lighting more. However, when photographing people (portraiture) I find some lighting can be very helpful.
One of the things I like best about the LumiQuest SoftBox III
It’s about 8×9 inches on the front, and has an area of double diffusion that is designed to compensate for the hot spot in the center. It folds flat, and will fit perfectly in the back pocket of a Domke F-2 Original Bag
, the standard PJ bag over the last 20 years or so.
Check out the review on Strobist.com.

COLUMBIA, Md. — All David Hobby wanted to do was pass along photo lighting tips to a friend.He jotted down some ideas and posted a blog —Strobist— to show how any beginning photographer could get beyond ordinary shots by using inexpensive, $300 flashes, just like pros.…
…Then the world found out about him.

I’ve been so busy with applying for, accepting, getting ready for the new job and leaving the old job that I have been remiss in my updates as well as my Strobist Lighting 102 assignments. For those of you are keeping up to date.
3.1 was Balancing Light | Twilight.
3.2 was Balance | Flash/Sun Crosslight.
Then we had the Reader Hot Shots posted.
3.2 again was More on the Crosslight Thing.
and in between there were a couple of really good tips like Free Lighting Mods in the Produce Isle and Small-Flash Tip For Landscape Shooters.
