[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 17413, member: 1061"] No need to feel stupid and embarrassed, Doug. The great thing about the internet is the wealth of information at your fingertips. The downside is, you have to have a built-in filter to recognize which information is credible. We are one of those filters. What you will not find here on Nikonites is a bunch of misinformation. We're all here to learn together and try to provide valuable resources for one another. First a question: [I]what type of lighting are you interested in learning about? [/I]Lighting is such a broad category, you really do need to break it down further. Are you interested in strobe (aka flash) lighting? Natural? Studio? There are few "catch-alls" out there, but it's easy to find resources to learn about various types of lighting. For example, one of the best-known and respected authorities on strobe lighting is [URL="http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/"]Strobist[/URL]. Start with [URL="http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html"]Lighting 101[/URL] and go from there. In general, try to avoid crowdsourced content. You can count on at least half of those submitting images to sites like Strobox have no clue what they're talking about. [/QUOTE]
