[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 788504, member: 46690"] Lol. Yeah, he looks a lot more imposing there, doesn't he! ::what:: I'm glad you asked about lighting. I'd like to answer, "I do a lot of shoots in my kitchen, as it has a large, flat, island in the center with plenty of room surrounding it. But the mixed lighting (LED, incandescent, and window) make getting correct white balance a nightmare. So whenever I do a shoot in there I try to knock out as much ambient light as possible and expose for either my speedlight or soft boxes, like you do in portrait photography." That's what I'd [I]like[/I] to answer. Here's the real reason: I thought it would be cool to watch my cat jump between two lights :) Don't get me wrong, the first explanation is valid, and is why I almost always use either speedlights or soft boxes in that room. But this time around it was just because I wanted to see if I could do it. (Plus, my wife wasn't home at the time to yell at me!) [/QUOTE]
