strobe lighting I am new to the photo world and need some help. I have two strobe light with silver unbrellas and one light (quessing for the back drop) and need to know how to set them up. I have tried several times and some pictures come out great and some come out looking washed out. What is a good way to set them up? Thanks.Also, does anyone know where I could see some good diagrams of lighting placement?

Hi Vern: Check out the free online courses in studio lighting at http://www.photoflex.com. Start with learning how to use a single light, experiment with it, record what you're doing in a notebook with frame numbers, then study your results and practice some more. Take it errrr.....light. ;>) Mark

My bud Dean Berty wrote the following article. He's a Croatian fashion mag editor and photographer. He's quite talented. The article is in all Croatian but there's diagrams that give you basic ideas to play with and start with.

BTW Veronica, silver umbrellas produce quite a hard light. I've found they're not so useful for photographing people as they are for shooting some types of products, even automobiles. If they don't have a removable lining that exposes white beneath the silver, then I'd recommend you invest in at least one 40" white umbrella that you can use to shoot through with your light by removing the black backing, or shoot into. Alternatively, maybe invest in a medium sized softbox say 3' x 4'. I recommend Chimera. http://www.chimera.com Take it light.
