Also, leave a comment on this post if you have other ideas on how to use opacity.

Inside this video tutorial you’ll find an extra surprise (a big announcement, and I won’t spoil it here).

Anyway, this tutorial demonstrates more basic light information, and also shows the impact of good lighting. If you’re frustrated by the type of picture you get with your camera when shooting around the house, this episode might provide some answers to your problems.

This video is for members only.

Update:

I had to repost the file, slightly edited. It’s just my voice at the end now. Unfortunately there was a technical problem with the rendering that created a funny glitch in the previous version.
