Re: Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between Part2
said by benjikan  : You must please understand, that there are NO hard fast rules about lighting and the more open you are to experimentation, the more original your set up will become. Au contraire! There are many cast in stone rules about light and lighting and once learned make the task of experimenting considerably easier and the results generally more predictable.
The concepts and reasons for hard and soft lighting, lighting ratios, the effects of the angle of incidence and the inverse square law are just a few examples of hard and fast lighting rules that should be etched into the brain of any photographer worthy of the title.
Lighting like everything else in photography is first learned in baby steps and once mastered can be one the most powerful tools in the photographers kit.
By the way never fear or consider daytime lighting as non-controllable for it’s not, I can shoot a full sun noontime shot with extremely hard contrast or temper it down to the point one would think the work was done in the early morn or late afternoon. It’s all in knowing how to control that main hard spotlight called the sun.
Oh yea your links are broken.
