Can I get practical knowledge of lighting? Sir, I have nikon D40x digital slr camera. I have not done any high profile course of photography so that I expect I should know about studio lighting which photographers use to do for model shoot,round shape glass or steel product I know this all need diffrent type of lighting & this all long term expensive course but still I expect some tricks like:- 1)How to show 'X' shape on round metalsheet (2) How to shoot bottle products (3)How to arrange lights for fine art shoot like : smoke shoot, ice thrown in the full of color water in the glass & color water bump out of the glass, (4)Which equipment is to give cut light,How to show reflection in miror

Hello Harischandra, I recently took John Siskens "Understanding Tools of Photography Lighting" http://www.betterphoto.com/courseOverview.php?cspID=172 This is a great course to gain understanding of what you will need and John provides lots of information about a multitude of lighting scenarios. I highly recommend this course before going out and spending a lot of money on lighting, etc..

Hi Harischandra, My reply is about an online course taught here at Better Photo. There are too many books about lighting and I dont know any of them that will cover as much ground as you are asking about and I have read quite a few. You would most likely need to read several books to gain that much information. Check this link - http://www.betterphoto.com/article.php?id=148 Its a start.

You can get many books and CDs on Ebay as well. Resurch your equiptment and then "play" with your lights! you will learn the most by playing with your lights. learning how light & shadows fall and what they can do for your shoot. and with digital it is so easy and fun to test for your results. I hope this helps,
