    Strobists got me in trouble. I put the original dvd set on in the kitchen while preparing dinner as background noise. Every so often I would glance and watch what he was doing. While watching, he went from the “Lighting a Cconference Room Portrait” to “Sunset Portraits” with the same model. I was listening about how to place a gobo between my 2nd flash and the subject when my 9 y.o. son starts yelling: “Dad! Why is she naked?!” I immediately turn around to see the model in a very skimpy (Yet flattering :-) ) bikini. Before I could turn it off my wife rushes in sees what’s going on and gives me the evil eye. Thanks Strobist. Seriously, love your stuff!

  30. Anthony says

    April 26, 2011 at 4:55 pm

    Looks to be an interesting topic for these books. Certainly can help those who are looking for that little extra.

    I’ve been a fan of Dave Hobby’s work for a while, the guy wears shorts as much as I do, it’s unbelievable… the strobist blog has been a major influence in the development of my lighting skills and hardware store pilfering. I’d love to get my hands on one of these books, I’d even put it under my pillow at night to see if I could keep learning via osmosis while I was sleeping….

  47. Jerry Andry says

    April 26, 2011 at 8:48 pm

    Wow! These books sound great. I love this method of teaching. It is great to be given the opportunity to recreate a photograph that has inspired me. Having a detailed description of the shot set-up is wonderful. It’s like having an instruction right there.
