First you'll learn how to master exposure underground using manual camera controls so that your shots are neither too dark nor too light.
Next you’ll learn how light direction can dramatically impact the emotional impact of your shot and how to control that to craft your vision.
Once you've mastered light and exposure we will go through how to fill in the shadows so that your images aren't missing important details that throw your shot off.
At that point we'll start tapping into the power of using multiple lights and some things you need to be aware of to avoid potential pitfalls.
Then we'll really start to have fun with light painting and experimenting and avoiding problems with colored lights underground.
Finally, we'll take a deep dive into compositing both stills and video, to light of massive chambers with minimal equipment.
