It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

My Lighting Thing
(Photo by A. Sue Weisler/RIT)
This is me doing one of my Studio and Location Lighting workshops at the Northern Short Course in Rochester. I use a plaster head as the "subject" as I demonstrate various portrait lighting techniques. In this photograph I am showing where to put a "Hair Light." I have spoken enough about being at the convention lately that I thought you might want to know what I actually DO there...
Is your lecture on youtube or any place where those of us who didn't attend can pick up some of your pointers? Wish there was a place to pick up phototographers' "hints" for the amateur who doesn't want to get too technical but still wants to take decent-quality pictures. Anyone know of such a Web site?
ReplyDeleteMy lecture is nearly 3 hours long, so it would probably "break" Youtube! There is a great site called "Strobist" where a working photographer shows how he solved various lighting problems in his everyday work. It is a stunning site with great ideas. You can find it here:

It was an excellent workshop, Ken! You're a magician (with a wand of light)!
