    Hi Mr. Morgan - I just discovered your channel while looking for specific photography lighting tips and I am astounded by your high quality videos. I generally don't watch YT because it's difficult to parse through it to find quality content, but I've found myself watching several of your videos. You present topics in a clear and easy to understand manner that's friendly for both beginners and veterans. I love how you show real-time demonstrations with how lighting is affected by different objects. Just wanted to give a big thank you for all you do and looking forward to more!

    I really enjoyed watching your thought process concerning lighting and its challenges. I have had difficult situations in lighting objects (mainly because I don’t know what you know). Since the camera is on a tripod, what about lighting the leather and taking one photo and then lighting the dagger and then putting the two together in Photoshop? You can get the optimum lighting of both worlds. It is fast that way too

      That is an interested thought. It will work if you are good at creating the shadows in Photoshop. But probably not faster than lighting the product and scene.

    All these "90 degrees" are really the incident angle equaling the reflected angle. Only if the incident angle is 45 degrees (to the reflective surface) is there a 90 degree angle between incident and reflected rays.

      You can watch a zillion reflective metal videos and no one explains this. It’s obvious if you’ve ever shot pool.

    This works not just for metal, but also shiny or transparent plastics, which have their own difficulties.

    Why do my objects look like garbage when I photograph them with a phone camera and room lighting... oh, that's why
