Family of angles, or, more appropriately, Why I should have listened in High-school

[Stradawhovious]

I'm reading through "Light, Science & Magic" right now (Hunter and Fuqua authors), and I have to tell you. I'm not at all pleased that I have to brush up on my High-school trigonometry to better understand light. not surprised mind you, but not happy.

To everyone struggling with light, I'm going to recommend this book. Im only a few chapters in, and its really taking a lot of mystique out of the properties of light, and how to use it to your advantage..... both strobe and ambient.

Seriously.... two thumbs up.

I wish I had $0.05 for every time I've recommended that book over the years.

Hm, Amazon says that a new edition is bound to come out in October. I put it right on my wishlist.

I still don't understand that episode perfectly despite watching it a lot - oddly it makes more sense now than it did way back then

mm math. mmm light. wave particle duality and quantum mechanics. (although that prolly wont help me light a studio shoot)
