This week I talked with my HS Photography Class about light- how to begin seeing it, and how it affects our surroundings, and our photographs. We looked at many kinds of light in various situations and needed to post examples of different types of light, and also samples of "good" and "bad" lighting.
And this is my post...

This is just a snapshot from an event, and so it's very valuable, whether it's "perfect" or not- but- it's a great example of dappled light under a tree- see the hot spots? Look for those, and avoid them when it matters.
This is my table at a dinner party I had a few weeks ago.
In the light...
And in almost complete darkness. I manipulated my camera to let in as much light as possible, and this is the result- grainy, but with personality.
The sunset reflecting off a swirling stream. Nice, warm reflection.
My kitchen is a great place to take pictures during the day- with windows on the East and West sides only, I get great, bright, even natural light between about 10 and 4.
Sometimes you'll notice light makes things almost "glow", like liquids, or almost "neon", like when you photograph a semi-translucent flower in the day time.
I always love seeing light pass through glass. Love it!
Here's the Ransom Band playing at Lifelight- had some great open shade here. See how that tent diffuses the light and makes a big bright "box" for everyone to sit under?
Rides at the fair- I didn't use a tripod- I was just having fun- so it's a little wibbly wobbly, but, this is an example of what you can do with longer exposures.
More beautiful, reflective light at the fair.
And the thing I look forward to every year at the fair is the beautiful, bright open shade of the 4H shelters- I absolutely LOVE photographing the animals in cages here- isn't the background awesome?
