The beginning of the lighting blog
I’m of the lighting operators/designers at Discovery Church in Orlando, FL. I’ve been doing lighting, off and on, since 2002. Unfortunately I didn’t get a digital camera until November 2006 so I don’t have much of a record of the early years. Now I’m trying to photograph everything I work on. It’s partly to help myself improve as a lighting designer, partly for fun, and hopefully somebody else benfits too. I do try the occasional “artistic” shot, but primarily I’m concerned with documenting the look rather than taking the perfect photo. Thus, the performers tend to be blurry because I’m using a long exposure (and no flash, of course) to capture the whole stage.
