Day One: “Warmth” — The Quality of Light

Photography means “drawing with light.” When you take a picture with your camera, you use and record light to create an image. When we’re out and about, we often use the sun — our most abundant light source — to capture our scenes.

“We writers are shy, nocturnal creatures. Push us into the light and the light blinds us” John Banville

Turn on the Lights

“Keep calm and eat cupcakes”
The sign said

Never mind the grapes
We could as well be wearing capes
This lighting is forgiving
To all sizes and shapes

Lights On!

It’s nightfall
Turn the lights on
Before the darkness sprawls
And turns us into dolls

Photo 101: Day Ten: Mystery & Lighting Effects

Today, share an image that creates a sense of mystery. A lone mitten on the sidewalk. A trail leading off into the distance. Your dog’s deep brown eyes. Intrigue us with uncertainty.

Today’s Tip: To stretch yourself, manipulate the light available to you to create a particular effect — use it to cast shadows and highlights to create a moody image. Work with natural light, or find an artificial light source like the stage lights above.
