Intro To Light

Strobe lights are only used up to 250 seconds per second in the shutter speed. There are three kinds of light: fill light, back light, and key light. When you use a reflector outside, you are trying to capture natural light and replicate it onto the subject. Bulb is when you open the shutter until you close it, for any length of time. mostly used at night. This is especially beneficial with star trailing and light painting. When shooting portraiture, you want to make sure and shoot at good angles. Try not to shoot up from below a subject. Feathering is when you bounce the light off of something rather than having it directly on the subject.
