    The comments from the diapered whiners are hilarious. You guys sound like a
    bunch of kids with ADHD….. LOL. You just got a 50 minute lecture in 5
    minutes. So get off your butts and go practise the techniques mentioned and
    stop being tutorial junkies. FWIW…. if you want advanced techniques don’t
    count on them being FREE.

    The video is very good for the beginners. Those who think it is slow- go
    and watch Charlie Chaplin movies.

    You can use a regular umbrella and buy a halogen light. It is very very
    cheap.. You can put them as side lights (both sides) then it will make
    yuour photos very soft. Trust me.. you can do it on a VERY low budget and
    get amazingly sexy photos. 🙂

    I have not been able to get pass 14 secs. even though he might have very
    good information to share with his audience. Having said that, I used the
    audio of this video to go to sleep one of those difficult nights and it
    worked. So, THANK YOU! Who knew that his tips might be helpful in other
    areas other than photography.

    i dont agree with the sun thing….i like having the sun behind the
    photographer (the sun in front of the subject) because the light is the
    light isnt going directly into the camera, changing the auto exposure, i
    know you can change it but you dont have to if you position the subject
    correctly
