Strobist Assignments Part 1 and 2

A demonstration of strobist lighting 102 assignments 1 and 2. Part one seeing how moving your light around the object affects lighting on the object as well as the shadows. Part two seeing how starting with your light source further away and moving it closer to the object while adjusting exposure via "F/stop" aperture affect the light on the back ground.

For more information regarding the assignments please visit David Hobby's blog at strobist.blogspot.com

@yosheeut88 because that's his cameras max sync speed and he probably wanted to kill as much ambient light as possible.

why did you use a shutter speed of 1/200 ?

Thanks a lot for your videos. I am appreciate all your effort and kindness for sharing the knowledge. I really learn something from them.

thanks you very much for these videos, I always understand it much better when someone tells and shows me, rather then reading it from a website.

Hi Dave thank you for these tutorials it has helped in Demystifying a lot of this stuff for me :)

i think a lot of professional photographers don't use lightmeter anymore mate...waste of time

[KristianSolli]

It was ment like a joke.

[captureguy]

lightmeters are used extensively by professionals and are not for NOOBS! not using one on a pro shoot would make you look like a NOOB! as you would spend forever getting your light correct. I fail to see how you came to this conclusion it being a NOOB! thing?

[KristianSolli]

Lightmeter's for noobs! :P

[mindemag]

I wouldn't call this the most accurate way of doing it... Buy a light meter.

Thanks for these zool1on. After reading the exercise there were a couple of things I was unsure of (probably because my camera was not to hand and my ebay triggers haven't arrived yet!) but seeing you carry out the exercise has cleared up my queries.

I agree with adblink182; a stream of the images at the end of each part of the exercise could hammer home the ideas a bit further. But you've done an excellent job anyway! Cheers.

[usyusero]

please do more of these, like 1 assignment a day

Nice video, helping me understand this a lot more. One suggestion however, at the end of the video, it would been nice to see the photos one right after the other, it would make it alot easier to compare the changes/differences in the results from the changing of position of the flash
