Yesterday I had my very first photography class, organized by the Chicago MeetUp social network. Eight of us were split between the Ambient Light and Studio Light. The instructor chose to use nude models, explaining that if we could learn to control light and shadow on something difficult like a nude model, we'd be fine for other subjects. Jill and Irene, the models, were patient with those of us who were new to working with models.
I was in the Ambient Light group. We did use a modeling light, since the room was very dark otherwise. Even so, I found I had to set my ISO to 800, and open my lens to f/1.6 to f/1.8. Some of my 170 pictures turned out very well, and will find their way online soon.
