the string makes perfect sense to me. Every shoot I do, I’m having to tweek my main light to the most common fstop I use, so for speed, I think I’ll just attach a string to it from now on – in fact maybe several colour coded ones! Great idea.

Can someone please help me to understand this: He says you turn on your main light and take a reading for skin tone. Then he says you TURN OFF your main light and meter the background to what you want, eg 2 stops brighter. But my question is, once you turn your main light back on again, wont this light then spill onto the background, changing the amount of light on it, effecting the reading you’ve just taken? So shouldn’t you measure the background with the MAIN light still on?

The guy said on the earlier lesson that he’s neither right nor wrong. NEVERTHELESS, some umbrellas have the string technique with their soft boxes, some use the light meter. I’ve done both and take excellent photos. Neither way is incorrect, it’s a matter of preference.

When he talks about not having the light-meter…Find one or reschedule the shoot. Please do not disappoint the client with this sophisticated devices (such as a string)! Or do the shoot for free!
