I am generally happiest when I just have to deal with the light I am given but I am having a hip replacement operation and going to be trapped indoors for a while so thought it would be a good time to learn and try and understand lighting. I have tried a couple of times before but grew annoyed and frustrated and stormed off to the garden to take photos of birds instead.
Does anyone have any good pointers as to how to get into it. There seem to be too many expensive tutorials etc. to know where to start!
Here’s a decent intro to inverse square law and the relation between flash power and your f-stop, as well as distance. Once you really get all this, the rest starts falling into place.
