PROJECT #3: INTERESTING LIGHT

DIRECTIONS.
Make EIGHT(8)+ photographs of what you consider interesting light & shadow. Look for how light creates shadow, what is in the highlight, and what is obscured by darkness. Bring the EIGHT(8)+ photos to next class.

RATIONALE.
This is an exercise in seeing & looking. It is an exercise in noticing what you may not have noticed before, and how light illuminates surfaces and objects.

NOTE.
Your subject matter is to be of your own choosing (a person...pet...flower vase...your own hand...etc.).

HERE ARE A FEW IMAGES TO GET YOU THINKING:
If you make photographs like these below, you will earn extra credit for each.
For extra credit, these are in addition to the EIGHT(8)+ of your own choosing.

1. Fork with bent shadow:


2. Person illuminated by their phone:














3. A pet (or something else) illuminated in direct light from behind:


4. Hand in dramatic light from above:
