Good tips Enkay, easy to overlook. Having the camera between you and the light source is a definite plus. I can’t say I always do this either!

Thanks Tom! I think lighting can be improved with sunlight or using lights in the room. It doesn’t have to be perfect but still bright enough. You could even do a post while outside.

I haven’t come across a video blog on youtube that did that but I did find someone sitting on a really squeaky chair that was distracting. I’ll have to do more searching to see the mirror one.

That is true. Its an important thing to keep in mind for photography as well.

Great points. I have always struggled with lighting in my room, which is why I have never video blogged.

This is something that is important to keep in mind not only when shooting video posts, but also if you ever use a camera to take pictures of pretty much anything!
