12. Lighting Discussion

To get silhouettes, underexposing is key. Your light meter is always trying to make everything even, to make everything the same tone. But for a DRAMATIC effect, you won't want the subject to be too light, but you might find them interesting when they are dark. With separate flashes, your shutter speed doesn't matter if it's less than around 1/300 of a second. APERTURE is the key because it affects how much light gets in.
