I just picked up the book "Light Science and Magic" a few days ago and I must say that I'm very impressed. I know that this book is by no means an unknown but I wanted to give it some additional recognition here. Even if you're a seasoned photog that's been shooting for years, if you haven't read this book, I'm betting you'll learn some valuable information. It's a definite must read if your goal is to better master lighting and create better photographs.

...and it appears there may be something to it. When going to the flickr group, the first thing you see is some really well-lit pics.

A previous edition available for free?

I did not read this (http://www.flickr.com/groups/duluthphotographersguild/discuss/72157608705184584/)in depth. You'll have to investigate for yourself.

Google Books has quite a few available for download as PDF but is not one of them.

They've scanned 38 pages and you can read the preview on line.

That's too bad. The flickr post made it sound like it was the whole enchilada. I have not read, but scanned thru the latest edition and it really does look like an interesting read. Somewhat scientific but informative nonetheless. Thanks for the info, OP.
