br/hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="noshade" size="1" / br/span class="h3color" strong From the Author: The Lighting Notebook Unplugged /strong /spanbr/ You’ve found the secret pages; raw and uncut notes–previously un-published and un-discovered. Yes, that’s a lot of un’s. iThe Lighting Notebook/i only had room for 101 scenes, so something had to be saved for later–and now is later. br/br/ iThe Lighting Notebook: 101 Lighting Styles and Setups for Digital Photographers /i is full of fresh, en-lightening content–from the history of lighting styles to essential post-processing techniques. In addition to this tasty educational extravaganza, we’ve included 101 different images, with corresponding background information, setup photos, diagrams, and equipment details. br/br/ Below, you’ll see examples of the raw material used to create the Lighting Notebook–all the good stuff, but without the eye-candy book design. It’s just a small taste of what’s to come in the complete book. I hope you enjoy it! br/ br/ Kevin Kubotabr/ Authorbr/ br/hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="noshade" size="1" / br/br/ SPAN class=h3colorBFrom the Author: Photos Case Studies/b/SPANbrbr table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" tr align="center" valign="top" class="tiny" td width="33%" img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/wiley/Lighting-Kid-Detail.jpg" border="0" div class="imageCaption"I Want Candy!br/(Click for case study)/div /td td width="33%" img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/wiley/Lighting-Band-Detail.jpg" border="0" div class="imageCaption"Rock Band br/(Click for case study)/div /td td width="33%" img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/wiley/Lighting-Wedding-Detail.jpg" border="0" div class="imageCaption"Not Your Mother’s Wedding Portraitbr/(Click for case study)/div /td /tr /table br/hr class="bucketDivider" noshade="noshade" size="1" /
