This is my first post, and reading through this thread I've been amazed. I am by no means a professional. I also have zero background with real lighting. I am, firstly a director and an actor. Regardless, I figured I might as well jump in here and share three shots of my own. I am very much a fan of stark, dramatic lighting, ala The Godfather. These are stills from an unfinished project that I was working on, myself, with my XL1s. That is me in the shots. For the computer desk shots in the corner I simply used the practical light on the desk.
For the still with my head in my hand, I turned the exposure way down so I could keep the lamp on the desk as it was. To compensate, I used a metal scoop lamp with a 40w about 6 ft behind me.
I realise these are not up to par with the rest of the footage you folks shoot, but I'm here to learn as much as I can.
