thanks to those...
 

that recommended the 'lighting for digital video & television' book.
I just received it and browsed through reading some pages and I must say. It was well worth the purchase. Great job John. There is so much one as to take into account that is just mind boggling. Judging by some of the writings I am positive that this is going to be my personal source for vital lighting arrangement.

Thanks again guys for the recommendation and to John Jackman for his esquisite knownledge in the field.

Thanks Charles, sure appreciate your site by the way. We're lucky to have Mr. Jackman drop in on us here from time to time. Please let us know what you think of his book,

Well chris, I will say it again. The man leaves nothing out. Like I mention before. There so much info Ididn't know about. Some very technical subjects, I had to read a couple of times before grasping. I still think it was well worth it. Although I won't be doing anything high tech as he mentions in the book, which I tend to leave to the expects for better judgement, but it does give you the knownledge of what people in the field will be talking over during a set.

Again, nice job. I love to hear people who know what they are talking about. I will be putting some of the knowlege into practice at shoot shortly. Thanks.
