bruno_lessen Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 <p>Hello.<br>Here I am again; I am looking for a title about lightning/flash theory.<br>I think an old book (a 20-30 year old book) would be great since I use an old flash (a Metz 45CT-5) and a Mamiya RZ67.<br>Do you have any suggestions for me?</p><p>Thanks</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 <p>It is a recent book, but I will recommend <em>Light, Science and Magic </em>as a great book on this subject. As you will find, newer equipment is certainly more convenient for general use but the principles of lighting don't change.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_5888660 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 <p>+1 on Light: Science and Magic. Once you grasp the principals in the book, the rest is easy. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palouse Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 <p>A third vote for the book. It gets you to understand the theory and the practice of lights--after that you are free and able to be creative on your own.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Another classic is "Matters of Light And Depth" by Ross Lowel, the cinematographer and inventor who started Lowel Lights. The very old Time-Life Photography series book "Light" is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
