Comment on Gloucestershire Photographer - How to add a Welcome page to Facebook by Rajat Garg

Hey,

Very interesting article …

We built a light weight app specifically for the purpose of enabling ‘Welcome Tab’.

Check it out here - http://apps.facebook.com/welcometab

I will really appreciate if you include a mention to it in your article.

We are going to add some serious level of analytic to this app + other planned apps so that owners can see how much traffic they are getting.

Thx
Rajat Garg

Hi Kelly. Good question.

My simple advice is if you want the osftest most pleasing light, then place the lights as close as possible to model. Usually I have them just out of shot when composing photo.

The further away from the subject you place the lights, the harsher the light. You may use this for example if you want crisp shadows for a dramatic look.

As for position of camera from model this doesn’t matter in terms of exposure, but purely from a composition you want to achieve. I have shot at 200mm some 12 feet back before, or just acouple of feet away for tight crop with a 50mm lens. DOwn to personal preference.

Hope that helps. Dave

Quick question… new to studio lights, and using digrams to get ideas for how to position lights and why.. but one piece of info is missing, is there a standard or guideline distance from subject to lights and subject to camera?

Thanks again for great information
