Guide to PhotographyLighting for Digital Photography



My name is Anthony Maddaloni and we're going
to talk about lighting for digital photography. Now, digital photography has made some pretty
amazing advances in the last couple of years in lighting and how a digital chip picks up
light. Now, one interesting aspect of lighting for digital photography is strobes or flash
and different type of flash is used for digital photography and film photography. So, you
really want to pay attention to the flash that you're using and make sure it is digital
compatible.

The other type of digital lighting that you can use again is natural lighting.
Now on your digital camera, there's a light balance setting. There's also might be modes
that you can control the way that lighting looks. To me, it's really interesting. They're
located on your menu on your digital camera.

There's also going to be on most digital cameras
type of lighting that you're going to dial in for that you're using that you're photographing
in. It could be florescent. It could be flash. It could be natural light.

Those are things
you really want to pay attention to when you're utilizing your lighting for your digital camera.
It's kind of interesting because you can see right away with that screen on the back of
your digital camera how the lighting looks. Now, with digital photography lighting, okay
I find that certain complexions of people tend to be a little bit more contrasting or
tend to be less true to life. That's one thing you really want to pay attention to and maybe
the mode that you're photographing in. If you're photographing in a raw mode or high
in JPEG, you're going to see certain ways to compensate for that when you edit those
images and that is really a direct result of some of the lighting.

So, those are some
ways that I will utilize digital lighting photography..
