Default Shaping Light

As I've tried to learn studio lighting I find myself a little overwhelmed at the various aspects of it, and seem to find explanations that offer no visual reference. I need to see something in order to better understand it.

Tonight while I was trying to figure out the difference between a snoot and a grid and what effects they create I stumbled across the following site.

You can select a lighting accessory and see an example of its effect, and can even compare it side by side with a different lighting accessory.

I found it to be very informative so I thought I'd share. Even though it's specific to their products, it's still a good guide for general lighting accessories.

Pnwguy, this is really helpful. I'm trying to find my way around studio lighting, too, and being able to see and compare is great. Thanks for the link!
