Photography Lighting Photo
July 4th, 2009
Are there any books or sites available with ‘photo illustrations’ of different photography lighting angles?
As with anything (label me simple), I understand things a little more clearly with picture illustrations.
I am more than willing to do the necessary reading (because I am very much interested in photography).
I wish I had time to take part time classes, but I am afraid I will have to do independent research on this particular interest of mine (no photography degrees for me anytime soon).
However, can anyone suggest a simple and credible source for me to start learning from (with photo illustrations that is : ) ?
Hello
Some of the monthly photography magazines have this info, not seen many books yet but still looking, they do exist. A few of May/Junes magazines covers these issues, have a browse in a book shop, news agents and library.
Will let you know if I find something in the book shop tonight.

Capture NX 2 Photo Editing Software $179.99 Powerful Tools for Quick and Easy Photo Editing Capture NX 2 is a full-featured non-destructive photo editing program that provides photographers powerful tools to quickly and easily edit their photographs. Color Control Points:Enhancements for hue, brightness and saturation are as simple as placing a Color Control Point on your image, then adjusting the length of the sliders.

Take a dull gray sky and add blue to change the mood of a captured scene. NEW! Selection Control Points: Now you can selectively edit photographs without the need to manually outline or mask the area for editing. Simply place a Selection Control Point anywhere on the photograph then choose from almost any adjustment such as D-Lighting, Unsharp Mask or Noise Reduction, while limiting the reach of that adjustment to just the selected area. NEW! Auto-Retouch Brush: Capture NX 2 adds an automatic retouch tool to its image editing toolbox allowing users to seamlessly remove blemishes, dust and other distracting elements from photographs while maintaining the integrity of the image.
