some of you may share the same interests. i get lots of thrills studying photographic sets with their relative position of camera, lights, supports, props, etc. looking at end result helps in understanding the whys. share your thrills.

Stoned said:I find it very fascinating as well. I'm still intrigued by how a slight movement of a light or two can create a huge difference in the final image. I'm still experimenting with various set-ups as well as I'm still not at the stage where I know exactly where to put things to get the effect I want.
The worse case is of course after dozens of experimentations with the lights I still can't get the shot. Studying set-ups of others tells me "hey, by putting backlighting here I can create this effect, or adjusting the relative position of the softbox will give me this and that"
Don't know if it's a fetish but WOW I love looking at studio set-ups!
reachme2003 said:it is fetish. same kind of adrenalin rush you get as fetish/es as one might experienced.
reachme2003 said:looking at a photo alone and make educated guess about lighting still remains a guess. together with a photo of the studio set, i use it as a educational tool, sort of.
