I promise, I’ll get back to the discussion of what I’ve learned about photographic lighting. I got distracted by some new developments in the WordPress themes field and redesigned LarryEiss.com as a result. With the new theme in place I had the freedom and flexibility to do a few other things I’ve been meaning to do for a long time as well. That’s all finished now and I really want to write about photographic lighting. It’s all about the light, you know.
However, Ken Rockwell posted a wonderful Christmas gift over on his site, and I really want you to know about it.
Ken wrote an article entitled “Simplicity“.
If you want to know how to make great photos; if you’ve wondered why your photography seemed to get worse after you got that fancy new gear you’d been coveting; if you are serious about your photography, you owe it to yourself to follow the link and read the article for yourself.
Resist the temptation to simply skim it or to “duck out early” and fail to finish it. Ken says some very important things, and they aren’t all at the beginning. Ken’s own statement on the importance of the Simplicity article is, “…probably one of the only two or three useful things I’ve written this year…”. I agree with Ken, though by my count he has written a greater number of useful things than two or three. This article is a must-read.
