The episode that never was…
Back in 2009 we began working on Digital Photography 1on1 episode 12. It was a follow up to Episode 11, basic lighting setups. However, due to some issues with our camera and unusable footage this episode never went to YouTube. We’ve always shot these episodes on a low budget but back in 2009 the budget was zero. We used older cameras and everything was done on a volunteer basis. So, sometimes things didn’t work out and that’s what happened to the lost episode.
Episode 12 was supposed to focus on one-light setups. Here are a few images that I created for the episode, unfortunately the video didn’t make it so you’ll have to settle for pretty pictures.
Light Modifiers
This week Mark talks about the difference between an umbrella and a softbox. Learn how your light modifier is affected by size, shape and control.
