TPF Noob!
I've been taking photographs for about 5+ years now, and for whatever reason, I cannot master lighting. I've always had trouble with it, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or insight. When indoors I use two regular flood lamps/bulbs and sometimes that's still not enough. Alot of my photographs will just not turn out crisp, or it will be a very long shutter speed, which makes it hard for a model to stay still. Is making a model stay completely still during a long shutter speed normal? Should I get one of those flash-lights and how do those even work? Does anyone have any input as to what kind of lighting I should use? I would be more than happy to purchase something. Also, does anyone have any lighting tricks they'd be willing to share with me? Any reply is appreciated. Sorry for all the questions, but I'm getting frustrated.
