    Film school is how you make it

    School Agree with J Fellini... Film is quite an unconventional form of education... I believe that all one needs to be a filmmaker is to shoot and watch a lot of films... develop critical thinking in order to be able to evaluate. Getting interested in History of Art helps... All that one really...

    Shooting the moon

    Moon This is an exposure issue... If you really want to know where the Moon is...(?)... you need to take spot reading. Now ... the Spot Reading (if you follow meters recommendation) turns any measured surface to the value of 18% Grey card. Keep that in mind and overexposure for as much as you...

    Please, take a look at what I tried to do with just Lighting. http://www.lightextreme.com/wst_page5.html I didnt really try to minimize Depth of Field and I didnt use any diffusion on or behind the lens.

    Lighting by Example!

    doomsday Hey Freezer... This one is little bigger... I dont like going too big because this is my home-made copy of 4x5 original and it does not look good when I enlarge it (sharpness, focus, color and all). And I dont have scan of 4x5.

    Lighting by Example!

    I am surprised you were able to milk this light with your setting 800-3.5-1/3... I though you would need to be slower than 1/3.. Agree with your take on the word "impossible" which I realize in our nomenclature is a "politically incorrect" verbalization... and correctly so. I have this...

    Lighting by Example!

    Hey Oak... do you have any recollection of what was your shutter and F-stop ...? seems to me that with 800 ASA at wide open ( F-2 ?), you'd have to be close to 1/2 sec of exp time to get this light...? This would make it simply impossible on video on straight gain with open shutter. One could...

    Lighting by Example!

    Candle ... wouldnt the flames go out much further if it were to be scanned to this level... Camera is to the left... you right... quite significantly so... although I dont think this does have bearing on shadow position... With the wall being croocked... this I also think wouldnt shift the...
