The
direction & position of the lights for any lighting situation
can be accurately recorded by marking their location on two clock
dials one marking an X axis and the other a Y axis. One dial marks
a plan view looking down on the subject with the camera at 6 O'clock. |
|
In
this situation, the direction would be marked at 12.15 |

The
second clock dial locates the lights in terms of height. If we
consider that the axis through 9 O'clock to the center is the
axis of the camera to the subject, any light positioned below
this is marked between 4 and 8 O'clock. |

In
this situation, the direction would be at marked at 11 |
