Reading Response #2 Lighting

Good overview of all the types of light and light sources whether natural or artificial. I especially appreciated the section on different types of natural light. Personally, I hate shooting in direct sunlight. It’s way to harsh and the hard shadows just aint my thang. Open shade is a lot more appealing to me. I also thought the idea of using a projector as a lighting source was so odd, but it makes a lot of sense with being able to focus and soften the light. The color of light scale, figure 2.54 pg. 147, definitely is something i’ll keep in mind while shooting now; I think it would be interesting to see how the color of light transfers into black and white photography.
