Single Strobe Lighting P-TTL

Let me start off this post with an apology for the large gap between posts in this series. The gap is so long that I recommend you quickly preview the previous article in the Wireless P-TTL series, Single Strobe Lighting (Preparation), so you can get caught back up. I know I had to read again it so there would be some sense of flow between the articles.

Single Strobe Lighting (Preparation)

A great way to learn how to light with off camera strobes is to study the catchlights in the eyes of other images. If the light hits the eyes in anyway then it will reflect off the eyes into the camera. Once you get the idea of where the light sources are coming from you then study the face and see the results of the lighting. Once you get good at reverse engineering the lighting you can tell just by looking at the face where the main lights are coming from.

About the Blog

If you like this blog or found some useful information in it please consider making your next Amazon purchase through this site by clicking this link or other links found on the blog.

A blog mostly about the Pentax K10D camera but a lot of the information can be used for other camera systems with little adaptation.

The blog is of course chronological so use the archive pulldown menu (sidebar above), which has the oldest posts listed first, and work your way down it to get to see all of the content on the site.

Alternatively you can see the complete Internal K10D Links menu. You can read any of the K10D specific article that interest you.

Another way to navigate is to use the new Camera Features Site map. The camera features are broken down into a navigational menu. This is the best mode if you either know exactly what you want to look at or to see all the features of the camera at a glance. It is a work in progress but many of the features have links to site content already.

Also you can navigate by Site Labels list the articles according to the article labels.

And if that doesn't tickle your fancy Start at the beginning and follow the K10D links to the next article in the series at the bottom.

For non-K10D photography related stuff see my Internal Related links.

This is my first ever blog. If you know of better ways to present the material or to improve the site overall leave feedback or comments. Currently the site is slow enough I can respond to every comment I get.

Thanks.
