Online Lighting Diagram Creator

In studying photographs that I like, some of the most fascinating shots come from dramatic usage of lighting. Of course I can only guess how the photographer lit the shot unless they provide a description of the shot.

A few days ago I read an article about how a shot of my favorite sports team came about. Now you may not care about the Jayhawks or even sports. But if you like photography, you'll probably enjoy the commentary explaining the shot.

That leads me to a cool online application that will create a lighting diagram. It is called the Online Lighting Diagram Creator. It allows you to easily create a diagram of how a shot was lit. For those who would prefer to create the diagram in your favorite graphics software, you can also download a file with a number of different objects as Photoshop layers.

Whichever method you use, it is now easy to create a diagram of your best shots.
