Although this information was … informative, the title doesn’t accurately depict the article itself. I feel like I just went through a Science of Light class. It really didn’t mention any tips at all for what you would do involving situations, time of day concerning cool / warm lighting instead of that there are kelvins, metering for subject matter, best white balances for alternate lighting, etc…
Overall, I’d say that this article was pretty much useless due to the fact that it never reached it’s final goal…Where are the tips/tricks?
Thanks for the rundown of physics of light though.

Geez… way too much info! I’m more interested in finding specific tips and tricks. A portrait photographer friend of mine, who learned from an old master, told me that great posing of a small group or family was based on loosely aligning the heads in a double angled line pattern. He drew a sketch for me one time and showed me this in several of his best portraits. I was dumb-founded. It was amazing and each portrait loosely followed this basic arrangement. This is what I am personally looking for…. not aperture, f-stop, polarizing filter nonsense!
