what is light ratio?

 

a ratio used to describe the f stop difference between a highlight area and shadow area of a portrait. they are used to help establish depth and mood (contrast) of a portrait.

 

a 2 stop difference is a 5:1 ration. basically the main light source is 4 times brighter then a fill/ambient light

 

1 stop is 3:1

Texas, what is your flickr name again? I can never keep them straight between there and here haha.

 

Ralphy, those are all in los angeles. It's just alright to shoot in i suppose. other cities offer way more imo than LA does though. It does happen to have a ton of protests (like the one below) that can be pretty cool.
