Video : Lighting Illusion

Here is a great video why we can't trust out eyes (or our cameras for that matter) when it comes to various lighting situations and why the two can be so far apart.  Pay careful attention to the gray, and non gray squares, or are they even gray at all?

B&H Introduction to Studio Lighting

Over at  the B&H youtube channel they've put up a some informational/teaching videos for your viewing pleasure.  One video that stands out discusses the basics of photography lighting.

You can find the video below called "Intro To Studio Lighting".  It is a bit "informercial-ish" in that "Joey", who runs the impact brand that spun off from B&H. The video id not obscene like those ones late at night and really is all about how to use the equipment rather than pushing a particular brand.  Again its about the fundamentals of photography and lighting.
