Sorry if this has been posted. If it has I didn't find it.

This is a short, quick, (imo) useful interactive demo of lighting positions with the effects of placement easily seen.

As an ignorant photog I found it helpful.

This link is wonderful! It allows you to see exactly what you as the camera person should see before tripping the shutter. I believe this is the best learning/teaching aid I have ever seen in my 55 plus years of professional camera work. It demonstrates exactly what a student learning to "see light" should look for. I hope everyone gets the opportunity to view the link, and play with it!

This is fantastic. As a keen beginner one always roams the internet, reading what one can and then somehow tries to puzzle it all together into something like this in one's mind. With this, you can see it straight away. Excellent!

I'm not afiliated with the site. I just like it. I would think it would be ok to 'link' to it as I did here (giving them credit). I doubt they'd want someone to 'move' or 'copy' their work to another site.

Another interactive example that just 'fits' along with the previous.
Sorry again if it's already been posted elsewhere.
