I found this via filmmakerIQ and I'm really really happy I did. Pure awesome.

(I've just read a few posts so far and it seems it talks a lot more about framing and camera motion and even about editing than about lighting, but still I think this belongs here)
 
Yes, I know, but for some reason this section about cinematography is 90% of the time just about lighting. Which is fine, and may be explained because it's harder when you start (I think I'm not bad at framing, I know I'm not good at lighting). Or maybe it's not even so and it's just my perception from clicking on links that seem to contain stuff with which I could learn something, usually about lighting. Anyway, this blog is mostly about other aspects of cinematography, it is awesome, and it is eating my spare time like crazy :)

I agree, most people post about lighting, so discussions of framing and camera motion are definitely worth posting.
