I am *extremely* weak in this area. My car has been kicked out of the garage so I can just shoot at will for the time being. I am going to have a bunch of friends over with their dogs, to really practice this.

I really probably need a third light for a hair light. Well, I really need to learn to USE the lights I have

I have googled that book and I am going to buy it. What is $40 at this point

I have a gold/silver reflector I have kinda propped up to accentuate the human in gold light to warm him up a bit. I am still not getting exactly what I would like from it

Maybe shoot THROUGH the umbrellas vs bouncing off of them?

Editing to say I found a copy of that book on the web for $25. It should be here by the end of the week
