Mark: With the studio type strobes, when you turn up or down the modeling light does it also change the strobes flash at the same ratio

Thank you for making these videos available to us all and not charging stupid prices for DVD's and such. I love these video tutorials and am currently eating up the lighting ones.

Thanks again.

Sorry, I didn't understand the difference between close loop and rembrandt. =/

@alifridzuan1 rembrant has a more defined triangle shape to it, they can look very similar.

What is the best lighting to shoot a Group?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for these videos, they are all awesome..very helpful. I feel I am in a room learning with others from your lectures. Keep posting.

Btw, I use a 50D Canon and Aperture 3 to edit pictures. I tried printing some photos and they came out pixelated..bad resolutions. Hope you can come up with a video about how post-processing and how can I prepare my photos if i like to print them , say 8x10 size or even bigger for wall presentation.

Cheers!
