<p>One of the goals of working under artificial light is to empower  ourselves to harness our knowledge and creativity to produce  predetermined results. It could be working with one or two small  speedlights or a few inexpensive fluorescents. It could also be lighting  a complex fashion set with thousands of watt-seconds of strobes,  softboxes, reflectors and spots. Once we start to understand that the  beauty of artificial light is that it can be carefully controlled, our  results will soon match our vision. And a lighting setup can be a simple  three light setup or dozens of strobes, with different kinds of light  modifiers. The key is learning how to control light—any kind. If some of  these terms or concepts are unknown to you at this point, don’t worry.  We’ll soon sort them out.<span id="more-147"></span></p>
<h2>What Are Your Needs and Budget?</h2>
<p>In order to begin using controlled lighting, we have to decide what  kind of lights we need. The number of photographic lighting choices  today is mind-boggling. Tungsten. Small flashes. Big power packs.  Monolights. HMI’s. Fluorescent. The number of  offerings is enough to confuse even the most levelheaded photographer.  So how do we make sense of all this?</p>
<p>The first question you should ask yourself is for what purpose are  you going to use the lights? Still photography only, or video and  stills? Portraits only? Large scenes like the inside of buildings or  factories? Do you want to be completely mobile, away from electrical  power (in which case you will need battery-powered strobes) or is it  okay to be tied to the wall outlets?</p>
<p>If you are going to be doing both video and stills, you will need  some kind of steady lighting. This can be simple tungsten lighting, or  the more modern quartz variety or the latest fluorescent or LED technology. Obviously you can’t use flash for  video but of course you can use constant lighting for stills. So the  choice is easy and there are lots of individual lights as well as kits  from which to choose.</p>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883387"></a></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883387-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - Photo_net_lighting-18-8" width="200" height="133" /></p>
<p>A portrait setup is much simpler than a setup capable of interiors,  industrial or more advanced needs. With portraits you can get by with  one or two lights if necessary. Three or four are ideal. For interiors  or location work it’s not uncommon for pros to use upwards of a dozen  strobes.</p>
<p>Another consideration is cost. Very few photographers just starting  with artificial light know what the future portends enough to plop down  $10,000 or more for a professional photo lighting setup. A lot of this  equipment is costly, so thinking ahead and planning carefully will  prevent a lot of grief in the long run. Ideally, you should be able to  add equipment over the coming years and not render anything useless. To  wit, I have Norman 200b portable strobes that are 25 years old and work  as well as they did leaving the factory. Talk about workhorses!</p>
<p>This guide is for beginners getting started with studio lighting. I  go over various lighting kits on the market for photographers who want  to start experimenting with studio lighting but don’t want to drop a lot  of money on a kit. Future articles will go over more advanced and pro  lighting kits.</p>
<h2>On-Camera Flash versus Off-Camera Flash</h2>
<p>So let’s take a look at some possible scenarios and then examine the  most popular and well-proven photographic lighting equipment available.  More than likely, you are at the stage where you feel limited by the  camera’s built in flash. When subjects are near the camera, the  background is pitch black. Things that are too close are wildly  overexposed. People’s features, like high cheekbones, seem flat and  lifeless. You wish you could just grab the flash and re-position it.</p>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883381"></a></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883381-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - Photo_net_lighting-11-3" width="200" height="133" /></p>
<p>Well, you have the right idea but, as you know, the only way to do  that is to buy a separate, shoe-mount flash. The ones made by your  camera manufacturer are the best choice, especially when you’re looking  for all the bells and whistles available today like TTL  flash metering, remote power adjusting, extra battery options, etc.  Most of them are in the $300-$500 range such as the <a href="http://www.adorama.com/CA580EX2U.html">Canon 580EX II</a> or <a href="http://www.adorama.com/NKSB900AFKA.html">Nikon SB-900</a>. If your  budget is tight, however, there are a number of low-cost substitutes  that will work just fine. The <a href="http://www.adorama.com/VV285HVKA.html">Vivitar 285HV</a> is an  excellent low-cost solution ($110), for example. So is the <a href="http://www.adorama.com/SUPZ42XCA.html">Sunpack PZ42XC</a>.  Make sure you get a photo “eye” (a remote sync device that triggers the  second or more flashes) or radio sync system. We’ll discuss all this  and more in detail further down in this article.</p>
<h2>Video or Stills? Or both?</h2>
<p>First question: stills, video or both? If your answer is both (lucky  you, probably the proud owner of one of the new HDSLR’s)  you need steady lighting, often called hot lighting. It’s traditionally  been called hot lighting because the bulbs were, well, hot. Think about  a 1,000-watt tungsten halogen bulb. Or a 2,000-watt floodlight. Even  putting your hand near a 100-watt household bulb gives you an idea of  how light equals heat with conventional tungsten lighting.  This is okay  if you have a big, air-conditioned studio in which to work but most of  us can’t afford that luxury. Our studio is often a corner of the dining  room or maybe an extra room off the garage. In a little space, the heat  given off by tungsten light can be unbearable. However, thanks to  fluorescent and LED technology, lights have  been developed that achieve the same level of light output without  cooking you and your subjects.</p>
<p>Additionally, today’s DSLR’s are also much  better performers with less light. This means instead of 1,000 watts of  light you can do nicely with 300. It also means you can spend  proportionately more money on accessories like light modifiers, stands,  clamps, backgrounds, etc., etc.</p>

</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883369-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - lowel_dv44_kit" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<h2>Basic Lighting Kits: Hot Lights</h2>
<p>My first choice would be a small lighting kit from <a href="http://lowel.com/" target="_blank">Lowel Light Mfg</a>. They have  an extraordinary number of choices, from small camera-mounted LED lights to multiple large fluorescents as well as  their well-known tungsten kits. Lowel has always been an innovator in  hot lighting, and now they have continued that tradition in cold  lighting as well. Prices start at $100-$300 for individual lights and  $500 and above for complete kits. A three-light kit is minimum (main  light, fill and hair, plus optional background light) for those  interesting in making the best-looking imagery (or footage). The Lowel  Rifa is a great general purpose light system, and their Tota is probably  the best-known workhorse along with the DP Omni.  My favorite is the <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LLDV902LBZ.html">DV  Creator 44 Kit</a>, which runs about $1100.00 but has everything you  need—a very extensive list of heads, stands, frames, gels, etc. all  packed into a handy case.</p>
<p>Other manufacturers with a good reputation for hot lights are Arri,  Chimera, Cool-Lux, Dedolight, Elinchrome, Hensel, JTL,  Norman, Interfit, Photoflex, Smith-Victor and Wescott. All are  available from our partner <a href="http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=itemlist&amp;cat1=Flash/Lighting&amp;cat2=Continuous%20Output%20Lighting&amp;cat3=Tungsten%20Units">Adorama</a>.  Many of them offer kits similar to Lowel, with a wide variety of models  and power to choose from.</p>
<p>An excellent low-cost cool fluorescent light kit is available from <a href="http://adorama.com/LTSP7.html" target="_blank">Adorama</a> for  about $160. It comes complete with light stands, two kinds of umbrellas  (shoot-through and silver reflective), standard reflector, bulbs and  case. This is really a great choice for the beginner in terms of cost  and value.</p>
<p>Smith Victor, a manufacturer known for high-quality but moderately  priced gear, offers a great three-<a href="http://adorama.com/SVKSB1250F.html" target="_blank">softbox kit</a> including both  tungsten as well as fluorescent bulbs, light stands, case and an  excellent guide to lighting.  About $600.</p>
<h2>How Many Lights? What Accessories?</h2>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883391"></a></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883391-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - Photo_net_lighting-28-11" width="200" height="133" /></p>
<p>Whether it’s constant or strobe lighting, the basic kit should  include one broad source of light, with an umbrella or softbox, a fill  light (can be a shoot-through umbrella), a hair light with snoot or  grid, and a general-purpose light for the background. You can start with  one light (the main) and add to your collection over time as your  budget allows.</p>
<p>The umbrella or soft box spreads the light over a wider source,  giving softer shadows and a “wrap around” effect that is flattering and  very elegant looking. The fill light can be used with another umbrella  or can simply be reflected off a simple piece of white Foamcore™ at a  45-degree angle to the subject. The hair light and background light can  be smaller units; the only requirement is that the hair light should  have a snoot (cone that keeps stray light from hitting other areas) or  grid (waffle-like device that does the same thing). The background light  might have a filter frame so you can experiment with different colored  filters or gels.</p>
<p>Remember that tungsten light, typically quartz, is 3200 degrees  Kelvin. So if you are shooting a scene with daylight pouring in a  window, you either have to cover the window with an orange gel, called a  CTO, or cover the lights with a blue gel,  called CTB. Which solution you use is usually a  factor of which light is stronger. A large living room with half a  dozen light fixtures is easier to match by gelling the window, for  example. A good source for a lot of hot light accessories is <a href="http://setshop.com/" target="_blank">The SetShop</a> or <a href="http://markertek.com/" target="_blank">MarkerTek</a>).</p>
<p>Before leaving hot lights, we should note that there are two really  inexpensive solutions to hot lights. One is at your local hardware  store: aluminum reflectors with a 500-watt household tungsten bulb, $15  to $20. The other is through dealers like <a href="http://adorama.com/" target="_blank">Adorama</a> that now offer inexpensive  fluorescent lighting fixtures and kits with the Flashpoint brand,  starting at $35 for one light to $100 for a fixture that holds four  bulbs. Cool! (Literally.)</p>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883367"></a></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883367-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - flashpoint_42inch_umbrella" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p>So our beginner’s tungsten or fluorescent lighting kit consists of:</p>
<ul>
<li>One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FPCL4.html">main light</a></li>
<li>One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTU33S.html">silver reflector  umbrella</a></li>
<li>One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FPCL1.html">fill light</a> (can be used reflecting into a white card)</li>
<li>A hair light (a small light with a snoot or grid)</li>
<li>A background light (any small fixture light will do)</li>
<li>Four light stands <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTST22.html">stands</a></li>
<li>Extension cords (hardware store)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.adorama.com/ZZTG30SLP.html">Gaffers tape</a></li>
<li>Seamless paper <a href="http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=itemlist&amp;cat1=Flash/Lighting&amp;cat2=Backgrounds%20%26%20Background%20Support%20Equipment&amp;cat3=Seamless%20Paper">background</a></li>
<li>Extra bulbs (depends on fixture)</li>
<li>Cloth work gloves if you are using hot tungsten lights (hardware  store)</li>
<li>An assortment of colored gels and diffusion material</li>
<li>Clothespins for holding the gels</li>
</ul>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883365"></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883365-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - 580exII" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<h2>Small Speedlight Set</h2>
<p>If you are only shooting stills, you can build your electronic flash  system the same way. Start with one small extra speedlight, get some  experience with it, then add a larger umbrella or softbox unit. Then add  another small speedlight with grid for the hair light and finally a  fourth light for background. You may find that you don’t need the hair  and background lights for your particular style of photography. The  four-light system is the traditional setup for studio or executive  portraits, but you may find your interest lies in shooting babies or  little children, where a two-light umbrella or softbox setup is enough.</p>
<p>A good small speedlight set includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Three (3) small speedlights (see On-camera Flash vs. Off-Camera  Flash)</li>
<li>Three (3) lightweight <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTST22.html">stands</a></li>
<li>Two small accessory shoe <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTUSH.html">adapters</a> (to hold  umbrellas)</li>
<li>One small (30-40 inch) <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTU33S.html">silver reflector umbrella</a></li>
<li>One small (20-30 inch) <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTU33T.html">shoot-through umbrella</a></li>
<li>Two smalll <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTPC.html">clamps</a></li>
<li>Assorted <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ROSK.html">filters</a></li>
<li>Two (2) photo eye <a href="http://www.adorama.com/WNHS.html">triggers</a></li>
<li>One roll <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ZZTG30SLP.html">Gaffers  tape</a></li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note: Instead of umbrellas you can use some of the products that <a href="http://www.honlphoto.com/servlet/StoreFront" target="_blank">HonlPhoto</a> offers. They have an amazing number of innovative small speedlight  accessories that are inexpensive and very effective, such as small  reflectors, gobos (to shield the light), filters and grids (to focus the  light).</em></p>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883366"></a></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883366-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - bowens_gemini" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<h2>Monolights &amp; Monolight Kits</h2>
<p>Up one step from the shoe-mounted flash is a monolight, sometimes  called a monobloc. This is a small AC-powered strobe that is completely  self-contained. Reflector, power supply, umbrella and light stand holder  and AC power cord are all built into one unit. They range in size from  the proverbial loaf of bread to ones that are about the size of a  toaster oven. The advantages are (in most cases): built-in modeling  light, no need for a separate power generator, built-in photo eye or in  some cases radio sync slave, adjustable power output, and ease of using  light modifiers like umbrellas. They also provide some degree of  redundancy for backup, that is if you have three or four of them and one  fails, you’re usually not completely out of luck. If you’re using a  generator-based system and the unit goes south, you need to have at  least one for backup or be able to rent one nearby.</p>
<p>One of my favorites in the monobloc category is the compact <a href="http://www.adorama.com/BZG200US.html">Bowens Gemini 200</a>. These  are very well-made, reasonably priced ($375.00) professional quality  units that have withstood the test of time over the years. Today, they  can also be powered by a <a href="http://www.adorama.com/BZSTPSK.html">battery  unit</a> (about $600) which is essential for location solution. For the  budding photographer who will eventually add to his or her kit when  moving up, these are an excellent investment.</p>
<p>For budget-minded beginners, Adorama has a line of inexpensive  monolites, starting at less than $100 for the <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FP320M.html">Flashpoint-II</a>. For $300  plus the cost of accessories like umbrellas and light stands, you have  yourself a very inexpensive studio setup. You can even use them on  location with the addition of their $125 <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FP2PP.html">battery pack</a>.</p>
<p>Wescott offers a value-driven three <a href="http://www.adorama.com/WESTL3LK.html">monolight setup</a> for less  than $600, including three 150 watt-second monolights, stands,  umbrellas, sync cord and floor positioning mat (a great learning tool)  plus a complete lighting course on DVD</p>
<p>So, here’s our monolight kit:</p>
<ul>
<li>Three <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FP320M.html">monolights</a>,  at least 150 watt-seconds each</li>
<li>Three <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTST22.html">light stands</a></li>
<li>Two smalll <a href="http://www.adorama.com/LTPC.html">clamps</a></li>
<li>One roll <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ZZTG30SLP.html">Gaffers  tape</a></li>
<li>One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FP2BD.html">barn door</a></li>
<li>One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FPPR5122.html">reflector</a> kit</li>
<li>One <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FP2SN.html">snoot</a></li>
<li>Extension cords (hardware store)</li>
</ul>
<div><a href="http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10883394"></a></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://thumbs.photo.net/photo/10883394-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo.net  Editorial - Photo_net_lighting-36-14" width="200" height="133" /></p>
<p>The other alternative for low-cost beginner outfits is used  equipment. If you check the <a href="http://photo.net/gc/domain-multi">classified  section of Photo.net</a>, you will often see an old Norman 200b or  Bowens monolite or similar strobes for a very reasonable price. If they  have been used continuously or at least from time to time, you’re more  assured of getting a working unit. Older units that have been sitting  around for many years often have dried up capacitors. Still, if the  price is right, having them repaired can be a relatively inexpensive  investment.</p>
<h2>Radio Slaves</h2>
<p>We mentioned the challenge of synchronizing all your lights. That  is, they all have to go off at the same time. There are four ways of  doing this. First is hard wiring, that is, all the flash units are  plugged together by sync cords and extensions. This is the least  desirable because it is prone to failure due to broken wires or other  seemingly invisible factors. Even a slight bit of humidity and one or  more of the strobes will undoubtedly fail to fire—and that will be the  best expression on your subject’s face, of course. You also have the  problem of running cables around doors and walls. So let’s look at the  other, wireless, options.</p>
<p>The least expensive way is with small light-sensitive triggers that  plug into the sync cord connection of your speedlight. <a href="http://www.weinproducts.com/photo.htm" target="_blank">Wein</a> was a pioneer in this field and continue to dominate it with new and  improved products every day. They range in price from $15 for the basic  100-foot range model to $100 for a super-sensitive 1000-foot model.  There are a number of other manufacturers making light-sensitive  triggers, including Adorama, Morris, Metz, Nikon, Norman, Photogenic,  Sunpack and Speedotron. All work pretty well indoors, but outdoors in  bright sunlight is another matter. Some of them will tolerate a certain  amount of sunlight; others will not tolerate any at all.</p>
<p>The same problem is with infrared triggers. They work fine as long  as you have indoor line-of-sight conditions but outdoors they can be  problematic. The most popular and reliable device is the radio slave.  These range in price from very cheap ones you find on eBay to the  professional’s favorite—the <a href="http://www.adorama.com/PWWPT2.html">PocketWizard</a>.  In addition to triggering the strobes, PW’s can trigger the camera as  well. At the Kentucky Derby or Olympics it’s not uncommon to see 20 or  30 cameras set up for remote firing, all dressed up with PocketWizards.</p>
<p>A couple of companies—PocketWizard, Radiopopper, Cactus, Quantum—are  now making radio slaves that work in the TTL  mode. That is, you set your camera and strobe to TTL (through-the-lens)  and the flash units puts out only enough light based on what you have  set the camera’s ISO. As an example, I took my  Canon DSLR out in the sunlight, put two Canon  430EX II’s on light stands, put a <a href="http://www.adorama.com/PWMTT1CA.html">PW MiniTT1</a> on the camera  and a <a href="http://www.adorama.com/PWFTT5CA.html">PW FlexTT5</a> on  each strobe, and started shooting. Perfectly exposed images right off  the bat! Totally amazing, foolproof and flexible. You can also shoot in  what’s called the high-speed sync mode, enabling f/2.8 shots outdoors in  bright sunlight to put the background beautifully out of focus. What’s  nice about the PocketWizard system is that any upgrades are easily  incorporated via downloaded firmware.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>There are lights and kits for every budget and purpose. Don’t let  the myth that lighting is expensive keep you from enjoying this critical  aspect of photography. Start small and expand as you get the feel of  it. However you acquire your lights, the most important advice is to use  them. Practice setting up one, two or more lights. Bounce them off  umbrellas, foam core reflector boards, or the walls and ceilings.  Practice using hair and background lights, or mixing artificial light  with daylight. You’ll soon find that even the simplest lighting setups  can produce dramatic images.</p>
<p>Look at photographs made with artificial light and analyze how they  were lit. What are the qualities of the light (soft, hard, edge, etc.)?  How does the lighting convey the mood and intent of the photograph? In a  portrait, what does lighting contribute to the viewer’s perception of  the subject?</p>
<p>Don’t just put up your lights one way and then after your session  take them down and put them away. Experiment. Use a slow shutter speed  to let the background burn in. Use motion to add intrigue. Put the  lights up high, down low, to the right and to the left. The only way you  will maximize your investment in lighting gear is to practice using it.</p>
<p>I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the <a href="http://photo.net/photography-lighting-equipment-techniques-forum/">lighting  forum on Photo.net</a>. There’s a ton of useful information you can  glean by subscribing to these threads. There are also a ton of books out  there. Some of my favorites are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Minimalist-Lighting-Professional-Techniques-Photography/dp/1584282509/ref=pd_sim_b_7" target="_blank">Minimalist  Lighting</a> by Kirk Tuck, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Studio-Lighting-Photographers-Professional/dp/0817435506" target="_blank">Basic  Studio Lighting</a> by Tony Corbell and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Shoe-Diaries-Light-Flashes/dp/0321580141/ref=pd_sim_b_27" target="_blank">The  Hot Shoe Diaries</a> by Joe McNally. <a href="http://creativelight.com/inspire" target="_blank">Creative Light</a>, maker of  lighting accessories, has an assortment of terrific videos to inspire  and trach, as does <a href="http://www.sekonic.com/classroom/classroom_1.asp" target="_blank">Sekonic</a>.</p>
<p>In subsequent articles we will discuss intermediate and professional  lighting kits. We’ll also talk about advanced techniques and how to get  the most out of your gear. Stay tuned!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Na hora de escolher a melhor opção para montar o seu estúdio, surgem as dúvidas. Por onde devo começar? Qual a melhor configuração para o meu estúdio? Que tipo de luz eu vou precisar? Luz contínua? Halógena? Fluorescente? Flash? Quantos pontos de Luz? Quais os melhores acessórios? Hazy Light? Soft Light? Sombrinha? Para que serve a luz de fundo? E a de cabelo? O que faz determinado acessório?</p>
<p>Este post foi criado para ajudar você na escolha da melhor configuração e indicar o melhor equipamento, de acordo com a sua câmera, seja ela digital ou convencional, de acordo também com o tipo de foto que você pretende fazer, seja de modelos (book, moda, nu, etc.) ou de produtos, sejam eles pequenos, médios ou grandes e levando em conta também o espaço físico que você tem disponível, além do investimento que você está disposto a fazer no equipamento que irá iluminar suas fotos. Deve-se levar em consideração que o conteúdo dessa seção visa apenas orientar o fotógrafo na escolha do melhor equipamento, e não deve ser tomada como a única configuração possível.</p>

1.  BOOK COM FLASH</strong></p>
<p>Na fotografia de modelos ou grupo de modelos com câmeras digitais ou convencionais, o flash ainda é a melhor opção, em função da possibilidade de trabalhar com velocidades mais altas. No entanto, não são todas as câmeras fotográficas digitais que têm conexão (saída PC ou encaixe para sapata com saída PC) para fazer disparar os flashes de estúdio. Portanto é necessário saber se sua câmera digital tem esse recurso, antes de fazer uma opção por esse tipo de iluminação. Em alguns modelos de câmeras que não possuem nenhum tipo de conexão desse tipo, ainda é possível &#8220;driblar&#8221; esse inconveniente, adaptando uma fotocélula na extremidade de um cabo de sincronismo e colocando-a estrategicamente, de modo que a mesma receba a luz do disparo do flash interno da câmera digital, fazendo disparar também os flashes de estúdio. É importante observar nesse caso que a luz emitida pelo flash interno da câmera, deve atingir somente a fotocélula e não deve atingir o objeto da foto, bastando para isso que se use um pequeno bloqueador de papel preto, ou outro material, colado com fita adesiva ou preso com elástico ao corpo da câmera. Outro recurso interessante que algumas câmeras digitais trazem, é a possibilidade de se fazer &#8220;white-balance&#8221; com a luz dos flashes. Se você está certo de que sua câmera tem os recursos necessários para disparar flashes de estúdio, outro ponto a ser levado em consideração na hora da escolha do modelo do flash, é a variação de aberturas de que dispõe sua câmera. De acordo com essa variação, pode-se escolher um modelo de flash que combine com sua câmera.</p>
<p><strong>Luz Principal</strong></p>
<p><strong>Acessórios</strong><br />
Para os flashes que farão a iluminação principal, temos algumas opções de acessórios que você pode usar:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sombrinhas</li>
<li>Hazys</li>
<li>Softs</li>
</ul>
<p>Essa é uma escolha bem pessoal, mas podemos dizer que as duas opções têm suas vantagens e características próprias.</p>
<p><strong>Hazys e Softs</strong><br />
A vantagem de usar hazy light ou soft light acoplado ao flash está na luz difusa que eles proporcionam e também nas sombras suaves que são projetadas, além da possibilidade de usar estes mesmos acessórios na fotografia de produtos. A difusão da luz será maior, quanto maior for o tamanho do hazy ou soft e quanto mais próximo este estiver do assunto, portanto, colocar mais tecidos difusores (nylon branco) internos ou externos, apesar de ser possível, nem sempre implica em maior difusão da luz. Sendo assim, se você pretende tirar fotos de modelos e também de produtos com o mesmo equipamento, os softs ou hazys são a melhor opção. O soft é retangular enquanto o hazy é quadrado. Os modelos de softs strip (140 X 35 e 90 x 25cm) são mais indicados para tomadas de corpo inteiro e também para iluminar modelos deitadas, quando se deseja que a luz ilumine somente a modelo, enquanto que os demais modelos inclusive os hazys são para tomadas gerais. O soft também ajuda a evitar, devido a seu recuo, que a luz emitida pelo flash e filtrada pelos 2 tecidos difusores (interno e externo) incida diretamente na lente da câmera.</p>
<p><strong>Sombrinhas</strong><br />
O uso do flash com sombrinha é uma opção mais barata e também produz ótimos resultados, lembrando que existem modelos de sombrinhas diferentes em pelo menos 3 tamanhos. A sombrinha rebatedora prateada tem melhor aproveitamento da luz, dando mais contraste a foto, porém provoca reflexos e sombras mais acentuados. Já a sombrinha rebatedora branca, proporciona luz mais suave, projetando sombras mais suaves. A sombrinha rebatedora dourada, &#8220;esquenta&#8221; a foto, proporcionando um tom de pele mais bonito na modelo fotografada. Por último, a sombrinha difusora, que funciona quase como um hazy, proporcionando luz bastante suave e projetando sombras suaves. Em todos os casos acima existe também a questão da escolha do diâmetro da sombrinha. Deve-se levar em consideração que quanto maior for este diâmetro, mais a luz se espalhará, dando portanto, uma maior cobertura à área a ser fotografada. Em contrapartida, quanto mais a luz se espalhar, maior será a perda de diafragma.</p>
<p><strong>Luz de fundo</strong><br />
Visando melhorar a qualidade das fotos, podemos acrescentar a luz de fundo, ou seja, um ou mais pontos de luz destinados a iluminar somente o fundo fotográfico. Posicionado estrategicamente, de modo a iluminar a maior área possível do fundo, este tipo de iluminação traz mais qualidade as fotos de modelos, eliminando sombras indesejáveis, clareando e dando vida aos fundos fotográficos. Um efeito interessante é poder determinar qual o tom de cor do fundo iremos obter na foto (mais claro ou mais escuro), jogando mais ou menos luz no fundo, ou ainda controlando essa quantidade diretamente na abertura da própria câmera, fazendo um &#8220;balanceamento&#8221; com as luzes principais. Exemplo: se a abertura indicada no flash meter, obtida junto a modelo, for F:8.0 e a abertura indicada no flash meter, obtida junta ao fundo, também for F:8.0 e colocarmos essa mesma abertura na câmera, teremos um fundo com a tonalidade fiel ao que se está vendo. Se diminuirmos a luz do fundo para F:5.6 e mantivermos o restante, teremos um fundo com a tonalidade um pouco mais escura do que se está vendo. Quando se fotografa corpo inteiro com fundo branco, muitas vezes faz-se necessário o uso de mais de um ponto de luz de fundo, para que o branco do fundo fique realmente branco e não acabe vindo &#8220;cinza&#8221; devido a falta de luz. Um recurso bastante difundido e muito usado na iluminação de fundo é o filtro de cor, que, acoplado ao flash, permite colorir o fundo fotográfico. É muito importante observar que a luz vinda dos flashes principais, neste caso, não deve atingir o fundo. Somente a luz colorida emitida pelo flash de luz de fundo deve iluminar o fundo fotográfico, bastando para tanto que sejam usados bloqueadores que impeçam que a luz branca emitida pelos flashes principais atinja o fundo fotográfico interferindo no resultado desejado. Nesse caso também é possível controlar o tom de cor que o fundo fotográfico terá no resultado final, bastando para tanto determinar a quantidade de luz que irá incidir sobre ele.</p>
<p><strong>Luz de cabelo</strong><br />
Ainda pensando em melhorar a qualidade das fotos de modelos, podemos acrescentar a luz de cabelo, ou seja, um ponto de luz destinado a iluminar somente o cabelo da modelo fotografada. Posicionado estrategicamente de modo a iluminar de cima para baixo somente o cabelo da modelo, este tipo de iluminação traz muita melhoria nas fotos, proporcionando um brilho interessante e charmoso. Um efeito interessante é obtido colocando a luz de cabelo por traz da modelo a ser fotografada (contra luz).</p>
<p><strong>Outros acessórios</strong><br />
Existem também, outros acessórios que podem ser usados em toda linha de flashes e geradores, que proporcionam ótimos resultados quando se deseja sair do convencional, colocando em prática a imaginação e o talento para produzir fotos mais criativas e artísticas.</p>
<p><strong>Refletor Parabólico Longo 250mm</strong><br />
características: alta concentração de luz, luz dura, projeção de sombras bem acentuadas, alto índice de reflexos.</p>
<p><strong>Refletor Parabólico convencional 250mm</strong><br />

características: média concentração de luz, luz muito dura, projeção de sombras bem acentuadas, altíssimo índice de reflexos, indicado também para uso com sombrinha difusora, excelente ganho de luz.</p>
<p><strong>Difusor com elástico para refletores parabólicos 250mm</strong><br />
características: indicado para suavizar e diminuir a concentração de luz dos refletores acima.</p>
<p><strong>Mini refletor parabólico</strong><br />
características: baixa concentração de luz, luz dura, projeção de sombras acentuadas, médio índice de reflexos.</p>
<p><strong>Refletor grande angular 500mm</strong><br />

características: para ser usado na luz de cabelo ou efeitos em still. Alta concentração de luz, luz dura, ótimos efeitos.</p>
<p><strong>2.  BOOK COM ILUMINAÇÃO HALÓGENA</strong><br />
Deve-se levar em conta na hora de optar pela iluminação halógena para fotografia de modelos, a quantidade de calor que é gerada pelas lâmpadas desse tipo, que acabam por tornar o ambiente fotográfico um tanto quanto &#8220;desagradável&#8221;. Também é necessário considerar o alto consumo de energia das lâmpadas de 1000W, já que, quando são acesas mais de 3 dessas lâmpadas em um ambiente fotográfico sem uma preparação adequada da rede elétrica, pode-se ter disjuntores caindo a todo o momento. A maioria das câmeras digitais disponíveis hoje em dia no mercado, são dotadas do recurso &#8220;white-balance&#8221;. Devido à cor amarelada emitida pelas lâmpadas halógenas (3200ºKelvin), faz-se necessário o uso do recurso &#8220;white-balance&#8221; para que a câmera &#8220;enxergue&#8221; essa luz como se fosse branca. Existem vários tipos diferentes de iluminadores que podem ser usados neste tipo de iluminação, cada qual com suas características próprias. Muitos destes iluminadores são usados na iluminação para filmagens (vídeo). Outro ponto a ser levado em consideração na hora da escolha é a relação custo benefício (preço X horas de vida útil) das lâmpadas que são utilizadas nestes iluminadores. Existem iluminadores halógenas que aceitam os mesmos acessórios usados na linha de flashes de estúdio, que é o caso do Tubo Base Halógena (que pode trabalhar com lâmpadas de 300W ou 650W) com encaixe para hazys, softs, refletores e até mesmo alguns modelos de sombrinhas. O vídeo light 1000 também pode trabalhar com sombrinhas, mas devido ao grande calor gerado, é recomendável que se use somente sombrinhas prateadas, douradas ou difusoras, evitando o uso com sombrinhas plásticas. Se esta for mesmo a sua opção, o melhor é optar pelo Tubo Base Halógena, ou então pelo Colortek 1000 Octo, que recentemente ganhou novos acessórios (hazy light de 0,50 x 0,50m, 0,70 x 0,70m, 1,00 x 1,00m e soft 90 x 90cm). Caberá na opção de iluminação com luz halógena a mesma configuração usada na opção com flashes de estúdio:</p>
<p><strong>Luz Principal:</strong><br />
<strong>Um ou dois pontos de luz (4 opções)</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Vídeo Light 1000 com Sombrinha Prateada e Tripé</li>
<li>Tubo Base Halógena com Hazy, Soft ou Refletor Angular e Sombrinha Prateada com Tripé</li>
<li>Colortek 1000 Octo, com Hazy Light e Tripé</li>
<li>Soft Light 2000 halógena com tripé adequado</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Luz de Fundo:</strong><br />
Um ou dois pontos de luz (2 opções)</p>
<ol>
<li>Tubo Base Halógena com Refletor Base Colméia, Bandeira em metal e Tripé</li>
<li>Colortek 1000 Octo com Bandeira em metal e Tripé</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Luz de Cabelo:</strong><br />
Um ponto de luz (2 opções)</p>
<ol>
<li>Tubo Base Halógena com Snoot e Girafa ou Grua</li>
<li>Colortek 1000 Octo com Bandeira em metal e Girafa ou Grua</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>3.  BOOK COM LUZ FRIA</strong></p>
<p>A luz fluorescente tem se mostrado muito eficiente para a captura digital principalmente para a foto de produtos. Existe também quem opte por esse tipo de luz para fotografar modelos. Neste caso também se pode fazer necessário o uso do recurso &#8220;white-balance&#8221; para que a câmera &#8220;enxergue&#8221; essa luz como se fosse branca, dependendo do tipo de lâmpada fluorescente usada. Este tipo de iluminador não permite o uso de acessórios e portanto, a configuração de um estúdio com luz fluorescente fica restrita ao uso simples com luz direta, já que as lâmpadas fluorescentes têm como característica própria, a emissão de luz suave. Teremos então dois iluminadores fluorescentes para luz principal e um ou dois para luz de fundo. Fica um pouco complicado colocar uma luminária desse tipo para iluminar o cabelo da modelo, mas isso não é impossível. Por tratar-se de um tipo de luz que não proporciona grandes aberturas, é mais usada para fotos em closes, com a luminária bem próxima da modelo.</p>
<p><strong>4.  FOTOGRAFÍA DE PRODUTOS COM FLASH<br />
</strong><br />
Na fotografia de produtos para publicidade com câmeras digitais, o flash também é uma ótima opção. No entanto, não são todas as câmeras fotográficas digitais que têm conexão (saída PC ou encaixe para sapata com saída PC) para fazer disparar os flashes de estúdio. Portanto é necessário saber se sua câmera digital tem esse recurso. Em alguns modelos de câmeras que não possuem nenhum tipo de conexão desse tipo, ainda é possível &#8220;driblar&#8221; esse inconveniente, adaptando uma fotocélula na extremidade de um cabo de sincronismo e colocando-a estrategicamente, de modo que a mesma receba a luz do disparo do flash interno da câmera digital, fazendo disparar também os flashes de estúdio. É importante observar nesse caso que a luz emitida pelo flash interno da câmera, deve atingir somente a fotocélula e não deve atingir o objeto da foto, bastando para isso que se use um pequeno bloqueador de papel preto, ou outro material, colado com fita adesiva ou preso com elástico ao corpo da câmera. Outro recurso interessante que algumas câmeras digitais trazem, é a possibilidade de se fazer &#8220;white-balance&#8221; com a luz dos flashes. Se você está certo de que sua câmera tem os recursos necessários para disparar flashes de estúdio, outro ponto a ser levado em consideração na hora da escolha do modelo do flash, é a variação de aberturas de que dispõe sua câmera. De acordo com essa variação, pode-se escolher um modelo de flash que combine com sua câmera.<br />
<strong><br />
Hazys e Softs</strong><br />
A vantagem de usar hazy light ou soft light acoplado ao flash está na luz difusa que eles proporcionam e também nas sombras suaves que são projetadas, além da possibilidade de usar estes mesmos acessórios na fotografia de modelos. A difusão da luz será maior, quanto maior for o tamanho do hazy ou soft e quanto mais próximo este estiver do assunto, portanto, colocar mais tecidos difusores (nylon branco) internos ou externos, apesar de ser possível, nem sempre implica em maior difusão da luz. Sendo assim, se você pretende tirar fotos de modelos e também de produtos com o mesmo equipamento, os softs ou hazys são a melhor opção. O soft é retangular enquanto o hazy é quadrado. Os modelos de softs strip (140 X 35 e 90 x 25cm) são mais indicados para efeitos, ou para fotos de produtos que necessitem dess formato de luz, enquanto que os demais modelos, inclusive os hazys, são para tomadas gerais. O soft também ajuda a evitar, devido a seu recuo, que a luz emitida pelo flash e filtrada pelos 2 tecidos difusores (interno e externo) incida diretamente na lente da câmera.<br />
<strong><br />
Configuração de um estúdio com Flash para fotografar produtos de pequeno ou médio porte:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Opção 1:</strong><br />
Apenas um ponto de luz</p>
<ul>
<li>1 Flash de estúdio adequado aos recursos da sua câmera</li>
<li>1 Hazy ou Soft Light no maior tamanho possível, levando em conta o espaço físico disponível</li>
<li>1 Girafa ou Grua para suportar o flash e seu acessório de modo que a luz venha de cima para baixo</li>
<li>1 Mesa de Still de acordo com suas necessidades.</li>
<li>1 Rolo de Papel Branco para foto de produtos.</li>
<li>2 Rebatedores Laterais para direcionar a luz para as laterais do produto</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Opção 2:</strong><br />
Três pontos de luz</p>
<ul>
<li>3 Flashes de estúdio adequados aos recursos da sua câmera</li>
<li>3 Hazys ou Softs no maior tamanho possível, levando em conta o espaço físico de disponível</li>
<li>1 Girafa ou Grua para suportar o flash e seu acessório, para iluminar a parte superior do produto, de modo que a luz venha de cima para baixo</li>
<li>2 Tripés para sustentar os Flashes que iluminarão as laterais e/ou a parte frontal do produto.</li>
<li>1 Mesa de Still de acordo com suas necessidades.</li>
<li>1 Rolo de Papel Branco para foto de produtos.</li>
<li>1 Refletor Parabólico ou outro modelo para ser eventualmente usado em um dos flashes no lugar do hazy ou soft, para iluminar a mesa de still de baixo para cima eliminando assim, eventuais sombras indesejáveis e &#8220;limpando&#8221; o fundo, deixando-o totalmente branco.</li>
<li>1 Tripé pequeno tipo base redonda ou back-light</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5.  FOTOGRAFÍA DE PRODUTOS COM ILUMINAÇÃO HALÓGENA<br />
</strong><br />
Deve-se levar em conta na hora de optar pela iluminação halógena para fotografia de produtos, a quantidade de calor que é gerada pelas lâmpadas desse tipo, que acabam por tornar o ambiente fotográfico um tanto quanto &#8220;desagradável&#8221;. Também é necessário considerar o alto consumo das lâmpadas de 1000W, pois quando são ligadas mais de 3 dessas lâmpadas em um ambiente fotográfico, sem uma preparação adequada da rede elétrica, pode-se ter disjuntores caindo a todo o momento.

Uma ótima opção para fotografia de objetos de grande porte, como mesas, cadeiras, móveis, etc., é o Soft Light 2000 halógena, que tem uma excelente difusão de luz e uma ótima potência, afinal, são 2 lâmpadas de 1000Watts cada, dentro de um soft de 90 x 90cm. Caberá na opção de iluminação com luz halógena a mesma configuração usada na opção com flashes de estúdio:</p>

<p>In this final chapter of our three videos from <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/punta">Punta del Este</a>, Uruguay we spend some time with <strong>dolores</strong> behind the red velvet rope  outside a trendy beach nightclub.  There, we learn something about our visit to <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/punta">Punta</a>: some people have &#8220;got it&#8221;, and some people have &#8220;got everything!&#8221;.</td>

<td>The first day of shooting for this episode presented a bit of a dilemma for the <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/characters">mariposaHD team</a>.  We were invited to film a polo match at the exclusive <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/gallery/makingof/puntadeleste/polo/">Punta del Este Polo Club</a>, which is hidden in the woods near La Barra.  Polo is big stuff in these parts of South America and we were looking forward to capturing a taste of &#8220;<a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/gallery/adventure/polo/">the sport of kings</a>&#8221; in HD.  However, down at the beach there was <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/gallery/style/polo/">polo-themed fashion show</a> featuring some of our favorite <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/gallery/beauty/mariposagirls/">mariposa girls</a> scheduled at nearly the same time.  We decided to split up.  <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/mike">mike</a> and <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/dominic">dominic</a> took the <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/node/271">Canon 20D</a> and <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/node/169">Sony FX1</a> up to the woods to film the polo match while <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/jeff">jeff</a> and <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/tamir">tamir</a> took the <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/canon">Canon 10D</a> and <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/node/173">Sony Z1U</a> down to the beach to capture the fashion show.  On this slightly overcast day in Uruguay, no one in Punta managed to see both the polo match and the fashion show.  But now in HDTV, you do.  Which would you rather see?</td>

<td>It was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Ju%C3%A1rez">benito juarez</a>, a Zapotec Amerindian and Mexico&#8217;s first and only Native American president, who famously said, &#8220;Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.&#8221;It is the morning after <a href="http://www.mariposahd.tv/s01e04">the night before</a>.

<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">All zu oft ärgern wir uns bei Portraitaufnahmen, bei denen wir den          Blitz direkt einsetzen, über viel zu harte Schlagschatten und unnatürliche          Beleuchtung. Ein schnelles Mittel zur Vermeidung dieser Umstände          ist es, den Blitz indirekt auszurichten (z.B. an die Decke blitzen oder          an helle, reflektierende Flächen wie z.B. Wände, Reflektoren,          Schirme etc.). Eine andere Methode ist die Verwendung von Bouncern oder          Softboxen, wie wir sie aus dem Studio kennen.</font></p>

<td width="440"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Ganz              einfach ist es, sich für das eigene Blitzgerät eine gut              funktionierende Softbox selber zu bauen. Ich habe dies einmal nach              bestem Wissen und Gewissen getan und die notwendigen Arbeitsschritte              dazu festgehalten. Ich weise aber vorsorglich darauf hin, dass ich              keinerlei Haftung übernehme, wenn Schäden gleich welcher              Art beim oder durch den Nachbau dieser Softbox entstehen sollten.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong>Alles, was Sie zur Herstellung brauchen ist folgendes:<br />
• 2 Ausdrucke A4 für die Schablonen als Vorlage (Download              PDF)<br />
• 2 Stück Pappe A4<br />
• Rakel, Schere, Cutter, Klebestift, Lineal, Bleistift, Pinnadel<br />
• reflektierende Folie, schwarze Selbstklebefolie<br />
• Diffusormaterial wie z.B. weißes Plexiglas (aber nicht              stärker<br />
als 2mm) oder einfaches weißes Papier oder Folie<br />
• schneidfeste Unterlage</font></td>

Verbinden sie jetzt das so übertragene Muster mit Bleistiftlinien und        schneiden Sie die einzelnen Teile aus.

Nun wird auf die Innenseiten der Seitenwände das reflektierende Material        geklebt. Bestreichen Sie dazu die Pappteile gut mit Klebestift und drücken        Sie diese dann fest auf das reflektierende Material. Achten Sie darauf,        dass das reflektierende Material gut bis an die Kanten verklebt ist, damit        dieses sich später nicht von der Pappe löst und den Lichtfluss        beeinträchtigt.</font></p>

Sehr geeignet als reflektierendes Material ist eine Folie aus dem Baumarkt,        die als Dampfsperre im Dachbau verwendet wird. Diese ist weiß und        einseitig mit Alu beschichtet. Außerdem ist darin eine Gewebestruktur        eingearbeitet, die auf der reflektierenden Seite für hervorragende        Streuwirkung des Lichtes sorgt. Normale Haushaltsalufolie, fest auf die        Pappe geklebt, eigenet sich aber auch.</font></p>

Beschichten Sie nun die Außenseiten der einzelnen Wände mit einem        dunklen, am besten matten Material. Ich habe hier eine schwarze Selbstklebefolie        (matt) benutzt, wie sie im Messebau oder bei Fahrzeugbeschriftungen Verwendung        findet (Mactac, Fascal oder <a href="http://www.oracal.de/" target="_blank">Oracal</a>).        Diese Außenbeschichtung gibt der gesamten Softbox zusätzliche        Stabilität, hat aber sonst nur eine otpische Funktion.</font></p>

Jetzt können Sie bereits damit beginnen, die einzelnen Wandteile an        den Längskanten miteinander zu verbinden. Gehen Sie dabei so vor, wie        in der Grafik dargestellt. Die reflektierende Schicht der Bauteile muss        sich innen befinden.</font></p>

Bringen Sie nun mit Tesa-Film ein geeignetes Diffusormaterial am Softboxreflektor        an (hier verwende ich eine 2mm starke, weiße Plexiglasscheibe, die        ich vorher genau auf das Kantenmaß der Box zugeschnitten habe). Es        eignet sich aber auch ganz gewöhnliches weißes Papier und transparente        Folien. Achten Sie bei der Wahl des Diffusormaterials darauf, dass es:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">• lichtdurchlässig ist<br />
• das Licht weich macht (nicht zu transparente Materialien verwenden)<br />
• keinen Farbstich hat<br />
• nicht zu schwer ist (sonst zieht die Softbox den Blitzreflektor nach        unten, falls dieser hochgestellt wird)</font></p>

<p><span class="flickr-caption">This photo was taken in Florianopolis, Brazil.  I worked with fashion photographer, Brigham Field, for two international magazine editorials, such as <a href="http://www.studiomagazines.com">Black+White (Australia)</a> and <a href="http://www.matadormagazin.de/" target="_blank">Matador Magazine (Germany)</a>.  In this photo I appear with international model Roberta Murgo, a 19 years old brazilian girl, who began her career two years ago, appearing two times in the brazilian version of Playboy Magazine.</span></p>
<p class="flickr-frame"><span class="flickr-caption">After appearing in these international magazines, people from Europe and the USA searched the web, wanting to see more of her.  The first <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-40%2CGGGL%3Aen&amp;q=roberta+murgo&amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank" title="Google results for Roberta Murgo">result from a &#8220;Roberta Murgo Google search&#8221;</a> is from my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pics2die4" target="_blank" title="PICS2DIE4.com´s Flickr Account">Flickr account</a>, followed by my personal photo site called <a href="http://www.pics2die4.com" target="_blank" title="PICS2DIE4.com">PICS2DIE4.com</a>  </span></p>
<p class="flickr-frame">Some important and high traffic blogs and <a href="http://www.fhm.com/bigeye/" target="_blank" title="FHM Magazine">FHM Magazine</a> linked directly to <a href="http://www.pics2die4.com/gallery/v/fashion/robertamurgo/" target="_blank" title="Roberta Murgo´s Gallery @ PICS2DIE4.com">Roberta Murgo´s Gallery</a> @ PICS2DIE4.com collapsing my server in one day.  Traffic statistics reported 75 hits per second making the site unsurfable&#8230;    I was amazed, because after one year of life of <a href="http://www.pics2die4.com" target="_blank">PICS2DIE4.com</a> , I only had 12,000 visits, and in the last 2 days I almost got 31,000 visits.    That´s the power of a pretty face.  I had to change some URLs to get my server alive again.  By the time I´m writing this post, PICS2DIE4.com got <a href="http://www.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=sm9pics2die4" target="_blank" title="Sitemeter Statistics for PICS2DIE4.com">43,331 visitors</a>.  I´m already planning in working again with Roberta, so I hope to have a more powerful server in the future&#8230;.</p>
