David Hobby is a lighting guru– seriously– he is the author of the Strobist.com lighting blog. Early in his career he was a photojournalist for The Baltimore Sun, but now he’s got bigger fishes to fry like sitting down with our host, Marc Silber, and passing along his photography lighting wisdom onto you. Today’s lesson, of course, is lighting:

• Get the light off the camera
• Difference of view point and light reveals texture
• Don’t always use flash
• Simple composition
