Capa: The Mexican Suitcase

Ellis Vener emailed a whole bunch of people during with week with a fanstastic link:
A very cool Flash based website telling the tale of the Mexican Suitcase. Covering the modern era of the negatives, this goes from the public announcement of the find to the current day, though the eyes of Trisha Ziff. It's really well presented and absolutely fascinating.

Foundations of Lighting Placement

Foundations of Lighting Placement is a great link posted on the Strobist Group on Flickr..

There are 3 sections to the tutorial showing Key Light position, Fill Light vs Key Light position and Key height. The first 2 give 12 positions around a model showing how the light works. It's well worth looking at.

Luminous Landscape has a great rebuttal article on whether equipment matters... Of course it does, but horses for courses as they say. Well worth a read, especially for the very relevant What the Duck? cartoon in the opener.
