I'd say knowing your way around lights is a hefty chunk on your way to being a DP.

Well, luckly on our small shoots we're all forced to be our own grips as well. Taking advanced lighting was probably my most worth while class in college. I don't think I could ever pose as a gaffer by any means, but lighting wise our stuff looks good every time, it just might take us a while to get there.

i.e. I'm good at directing the gaffer of what we need, where light is needed, what looks bad, harsh, etc... but if I'm acting as DP and having to correct the lighting also, it might take a little while.
