I just found your website and books a couple of months ago and they have been huge for me as we are just starting to get into photography seriously. I have purchased the "Scott Kelby Location Kit" and was wondering if you have an article, video, etc. that would give some starting points to using this set up for portrait and wedding type shots. For instance, when to use one light and a reflector, when to use both lights, maybe some layouts of where to set them up around your subject. Just some starting points. Thanks for all you do to help us out! Hey Scott. I just found your website and books a couple of months ago and they have been huge for me as we are just starting to get into photography seriously.

I do this all the time on my D70, but the less expensive Nikons (D40, D50), can't be the master flash -- they need a hot shoe flash to trigger remote flashes.

Your persistence and energy is boundless. This information is just what many of my would be assistants could have used over and over again. I am a big fan of the "pocket wizards" as the Canon transmitter has to have line of site to the "red" receiver on the EX580. Anyway you are all really amazing and I don't know how you make it on 3 hrs. sleep. You can't possibly get more than that and do what you do. Great sidekicks too. Now if you could get Jack Davis and Dewitt Jones to do some classes at Kelby training I would be in heaven.

That would be even "way'er" cool. Regards, Jan Scott, this is way cool… thanks for doing this.

I've got a quick request. Since you mentioned you'' be addressing studio lighting tomorrow, I hope you include a write-up on your TD5 spiderlites continuous lighting set-up with the daylight flourescent bulbs, and how you use it. I have a couple of TD5s and I'm not sure I'm using them as efficiently as I could be. I'm also particularly interested in how you measure light for a manual exposure, using your sekonic light meter, as you describe in version 2 of the digital photography book. regards, -Ade Scott,

They're small, so they're easy to miss, but they are included with the kit. Thanks, -Scott Hi Torstein and Dan:

Can anyone confirm that the adapter screws are indeed missing from the package? I would hate to order it and not be able to assemble...

Sorry to bother you with such a petty question, but I figured you would know right away! THANKS! keep chargin' matt Hi Scott,
