Was spent by yours truly learning about cinematography at a seminar from the Cinematographers Union. I did not understand half the words they said, with their techno jargon, but it was fascinating and for 50 bucks, a bargain.
I will not attempt here to try to explain to you, my fellow non-cinematographers, what it is that these dudes do to make movies look great.

It is pretty awesome but I know for sure I don't want to be a DP. I can't do the math. But what I want to do is to direct.
The workshop was at the pretty impressive Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yards. With views of New York I had not seen from that vantage point. Having been inspired by the workshop, I took some very amateurish pictures:
