If you are a lighting nerd looking for a hobby over the holidays, check out this nice amateur photography site by Evan Sharboneau called PhotoExtremist.

I especially like the “bokeh” and the “steel wool” tutorials…just don’t set fire to anything, please.

The behind-the-scenes totally ruins the “sex appeal” of the photos, but this kid has a way of making the process seem approachable, unlike many other photo sites.
