The Beginner's Guide To: Lighting




Do you find yourself taking great photos, but there is just one thing off...the lighting? Do you have a hard time understanding aperture, shutter speed, and ISO? Have you searched the internet, but still don't understand these concepts? 

Do you have photos that are way too dark or too bright? Are your images turning out blurry and you have no idea what is going on? Are your images looking discolored? Curious as to what all those letters on your camera dial mean and how to use them? BP4U has come to the rescue with The Beginner's Guide To: Lighting! In our new guide, Sean Molin breaks down everything you need to know about lighting. He describes different lighting conditions in plain English and makes these topics that are normally hard to understand, a breeze!
