This reading reminds me of our body shot project in 290.  I wish we had more time to experiment as a class instead of having to figure it out for ourselves.  I found the lighting effects really fun to accomplish when creating a specific feeling.  I liked the section about the different effects that will be given when shooting in various places, such as in direct sunlight, in shadow, in a house, and in overcast weather.  The Color of Light was an interesting section to read and photographs to compare.  You really do see a change in color as the path of light changes.  The section on metering and bracketing was a good review.
