AWESOME, you will be very pleased with yourself, when you get through the book. The book really is all about light. You will be amazaze at how much you learn and how useful the information will be. It's kind of strange, after I read the book, I looked at everything that reflected, or scattered light, with a new perspective - kind of annoying realy - but in a good way.
I think the shoot throughs and the bounce are about the same.
I was not aware of the dog/hair thing mentioned by James, but, I think i would give it all at try until you find your niche. You are brave to do this, thanks for posting and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
