Lighting Day 4

Friday, we started to learn how to use whatever light available to take a good photo rather than lights we can control. It's the same concept, using exactly what you have. What you have is just different. I like the idea that it is possible to get a photo in ANY location. I thought about it, and this is going to be the most useful to me considering that I will not have a mobile light source or any other equipment when taking most of the photos I will take in my lifetime. I was a little overwhelmed by all of the variables that affect the best way for a portrait to be taken. The shape of the person's face, their eyes, basically every other feature they have, the background, the light, anything interesting that's around. Then there's all of the different things on the camera to adjust and in the layout to adjust to make it all work together. I definitely want a lot more practice with it.
