Lesson 2

Had my second lesson in natural light photography. This is about the language of light. Our assignment was to take a mid tone object and photograph it at the window, 5 feet and 10 feet. We are to notice diffused value, shadow, and Specular highlights. The second ring in the 2nd and 3rd photo come from a second window.

What a dramatic different between settings!

[Jo]

That's really cool and such a difference between the 3 shots.

[Richard Sayer]

I think that understanding the inverse square law of light fall off was one of the more tricky things to get my head round.. This triptych illustrates it perfectly - well done Joan, I hope that you're enjoying your course.

[Lyn Berriman]

Lovely collage!

[Gena Pegg]

Well done....hmmm and so interesting. Will have to try this some time. I think the second one is my favorite!

[Pete Roberts]

Well done Joan really good shots

[Janiskay]

I like this though not sure I understand it.

[Taffy]

Such a cool way to show the effect of lighting -- it's pretty dramatic at these three distances from the window.

[Rachel Withey]

This shows the effect really well

I think I shall try this. This summer sun is perfect for it! Thanks, love learning something new:)
