Let me preface this post by noting that I am trying to get away from the "hey, look at this neat website" posts and more into the long-form, "On Assignment" and gear/technique stuff.
Really.
That said, "EFP Lighting" has a great little history lesson/tutorial on Chiaroscuro. So for the moment, ditch this website and go learn from the Old Masters.
Then you can cook your own charred squirrel.

Where can I get hold of these balls? Does anyone know if they come with a standard lightstand fitting or is a special bracket required?
David, you should think about a marketing deal with the suppliers.
Too many photographer want to use just oner light on the subject and forget about the light on the baclground. With no light on the background part of the subject has no seperation from the background.
Very useful link! Thank you. The balls look like styrofoam balls, the kind available at a craft store. I imagine you could use a black wire coat hanger poking in the bottom of the ball and mounted in a block of wood to suspend them. Good stuff. Really got the creative juices flowing.

ditto: great link. thanks for posting.
Thanks for the link. It was a huge help in understanding basic setup for studio lighting and just lighting in general.
I tried clicking on the link, but got error 404; do you have to become a member now to view the page? This is my first comment. Strobist RULES!

It seems that you cannot read the article David intended if you are not a member. It says so clearly on the main page :( Too bad, would have been a great lesson IMHO.
To see the page content from 2007 (and therefore the linked article) without being a member of the site, use the Wayback Machine:
