Both of which you can find here.
I think it's important to blog about this, or keep track of it somewhere. As DH says, you're more likely to keep it going, and then I'll have a reference to go back to the points that stood out for me.
Lighting 102 Light Controls Overview
1. Varying position: To create mood and dimension, move the light around depending on the look you're trying to create.
2. Varying the apparent size of the light source: Shooting through diffusers, into reflectors, etc.
3. Altering the relative intensity: balancing light with ambient, other strobes, other light sources. This one is a bit confusing for me.
4. Restricting light: Controlling where light does not go with gobos, snoots, grids, cookies, etc
5. Refraction and reflection: Zoom flash, bending light... Not sure about this one at all. Until I read this I had totally forgotten that my flash wasn't TTL anymore and that I had to set the zoom. Oops.
6. Altering the color: Got this one covered with Gels. Ordered a pack of color correction gels and special effects gels from Photogels.com
7. Time
