Flash / Strobe / Battery powered / Whatever you guys use, we can talk about it and get all light and dark right here, in this forum...

*just a note, I know someone will ask*
What's Ghetto Lighting? Ghetto lighting is where you use any light source that's not a "photographic light" and not "the sun" ...So, a desk lamp etc...

Here's an example of "Ghetto Lighting"
(Which incidentally also goes with my coffee theme today!)

You know what this picture is amazing.. I'm really amazed.. I can't say i thing.. I want to learn how you do that.. How did you do that?? Did you do some color correction something like that or just the lighting??

Samantha, while I am not Sime nor would I want to be in his shoes. The image was made with one desk lamp set to camera left. Adjusted to and fro to get the reflections off the cup and spoon just so and the image was made. Then most likely converted to black and white in post processing. I believe Sime uses PS and LR3, but that could be erroneous information about the editing programs.

But the essence of Ghetto lighting is the simplicity of it. Back in the days of old photographers they used hot lamps which were not much more than ghetto lights. Many old black and white images were made just as this one. I have a few old lighting books put out by Amphoto publishing by the likes of Santucci, Wooley and Rey. These guys were working for the movie industry back in the 40s and 50s and worked almost exclusively with hot lights (incandescent) of comparably low wattage.

Look in the used book stores for these books and you can learn an immense amount about working with artificial light.

Almost exactly,
Converted in Lightroom, no photoshop though, I use it very rarely and typically only for taking annoying sensor spots out of an image.

Welcome!
