Learning photography: assignment 1 light

30 06 2009

In order to improve my photography I will set myself some assignments. In these assignment I will select a particular aspect of photography and create a task with it. After about 2 weeks I will look back on it and draw up my lessons learned.

Assignment 1 light

As light is the most important thing in photography, the first assignment is light and in particular different kinds of natural light. How does the different kind of light at different time of day affect the subject, how does it influence details, shadow, etc. I first heard this assignment suggestion (or something similar) at either photofocus.com or TWIP podcast, both are warmly recommended podcasts.

Task: take a subject easy to reach and take many pictures of it at different times of day, so from dawn till dusk. Compare the results and see how the subject changes.

Happy shooting!
