lighting guru

I've often consulted with the archives of the Strobist when in need of guidance on something I really have very little knowledge of, being a natural/available light photographer. I was cruising over there today looking for something I need for an upcoming shoot and found this great little video series. Here's the first one - I encourage you to watch LOTS of his little videos - he's very knowledgeable about controlled lighting and he's got a sense of humour to boot (always a selling point in the world of photorgaphy where far too many take themselves far too seriously... lol)
