But what if your schedule (or your subject's schedule) doesn't permit you to shoot then? Can you still capture your subjects in soft, beautiful lighting conditions?</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12757 <p><span style="font-size: small;">So you want to take dynamic portraits outdoors but you don't want it to be a huge production with a lot of lighting gear, assistants, etc. Not a problem.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12756 <p><span style="font-size: small;">When it comes to creating spectacular outdoor portraits, early morning sunlight alone is often not enough to generate the "magic" you envision. That's when you need a little help.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12754 <p><span style="font-size: small;">Photographers all know that the most magical time of day to shoot anything outdoors is either dawn or dusk. The sun sits low in the sky, which makes for warm tones, lower contrast and colorful skies and backgrounds.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12752 <p><span style="font-size: small;">When you think of sports photography, lighting equipment most likely doesn't enter the picture, does it? After all, most photographers that work with lighting equipment use it to shoot formal portraits or indoor studio work, right? Well, that used to be the case.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12750 <p><span style="font-size: small;">For most people, the term "photographic lighting equipment" tends to conjure up visions of complicated setups involving light stands, sand bags, electrical cables, etc. And while lighting can get quite involved, it doesn't always have to be. In fact, it can be downright simple and easy to use.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12748 <p><span style="font-size: small;">AdoramaTV presents Lastolite products.

Try moving it behind your subject for dynamic, creative results.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12295 <p><span style="font-size: small;">Just about every portable flash unit that you mount on a camera via a hot shoe projects light the same way: a rectangle, horizontally oriented to roughly match the shape of the image you&rsquo;re shooting.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/12239 The Leica S2 has a large price tag, to be certain, but that large price tag comes with a large sensor, and huge image files. The Learning Center team spends some time with this new ultra-luxe medium f http://www.adorama.com/alc/blogarticle/12129 "Lightwriting" is different than "Lightpainting" because instead of illuminating an object, you use a small flashlight to "write" directly on your camera sensor.

So pick up your camera and catch a few before they flee at the approach of clouds. </span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/8481 <p><span style="font-size: small;">Some photographers think studio lighting equipment is too complicated and too expensive but it can be neither. Part of this misunderstanding is created by seemingly bewildering array of product types and their associated buzzwords.

That&rsquo;s when a studio comes in handy. </span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/8189 <p><span style="font-size: small;">No matter how you look at it, wedding photographers are dependent on electronic flash. </span><em><br /></em></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/8209 <p><span style="font-size: small;">Here&rsquo;s why pros prefer radio slaves, and how you can choose between the top two systems on the market.</span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/8065 <p><span style="font-size: small;">While a flash on your camera is the easiest, most compact way to insure getting sharp, properly exposed, photographs when shooting moving subjects in dark rooms (sounds like a wedding!), it is also true that the quality of the lighting this type of setup creates leaves much to be desired. </span></p> http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/8224 <p><span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes, modeling (a lighting effect caused by placing the light to the side of your subject) isn't the best way to light your shot.
