Up Lighting

Where can I find a good free guide to setting up studio lighting at home?
I have a 2 light set up with brolly and 60cm softbox and am looking for some good tutorials on how best to set these up for portraits.
There are loads of books at the library on the subject of lighting and photography. Give it a try.

A Small Wedding, Big Room, & Uplighting
What do I buy the best yet cheapest spotlights for lighting up the outside halloween decor?
I have many more props this year, last year I lacked lighting. I have strobe lights but I just wanted regular lights for some stuff. I just want to plug them in and run the cords. Where do I find them, where they are simple, cheap, and durable? Thanks
I used to use Malibu landscape lights, but found that they were too dim and the tombstone epitaphs that I worked so hard on couldn't be read from the street. Now I use colored outdoor floodlights in stake floodlight holders and am much happier with the results.
Colored floodlights and stake holders are available at hardware and home improvement stores as well as WalMart. The most likely colors you'll find are red, amber, blue and green. Lamps are under $10 each, probably closer to $5.





























nice shots
RJ, think of it this way. Your LCD TV screen is like an old slide projector. The LCD matrix is like a slide. It has a picture on it. But you can't see the picture on the screen unless you light it up from behind.
That's how LCD screens work. The LCD array forms the video picture, but you have to light it up to make it visible. Until recently, that's been done via fluorescent lamps. That works well, but they give off a lot of heat and require a fair amount of power to operate.
LEDs (light emitting diodes) are just a replacement for the fluorescent lamps. They give off the light that the LCD array needs to light up the picture.
There currently are two types of LED technologies, edge lighting and matrix. Edge lighting has LEDs around the perimeter of the picture, and it works great. But matrix is the latest and greatest, with a solid array of LEDs behind the entire LCD structure, pretty much like a projector lamp behind an old slide.
