Every of us are familiar with a light as a meaning of brightness, glow, radiance, shine etc…and as a main provider of it is our sun. But not everyone probably ever thought about variations of light…many different ways how light what we see travels to us and that every time light changes.
Why is the sky blue… Why do mountains glow in the dark… Is the darkest always before the dawn… An ideal reference to have to hand in answering questions such as these I found in Color and Light in Nature, -book written by astronomers D.K Lynch and W.Livingston.
Also everything you need to know to understand the characteristics of light and the foundations of photographic lighting, including film, filters, exposure, compensation, zone system and an array of creative techniques can be found in a similar source- book: Photographic Lighting: Essential Skills by Mark Galer and John Child. The authors use terminology that is easy to understand and explain techniques in a clearly written, no nonsense manner and to help improve the use of light in photography and encourage visual expression. A variety of activities and assignments throughout the book teach lessons in a creative context that can be applied immediately to develop the professional in you.
And at least but not last… Transient Light: A Photographic Guide to Capturing the Medium students and amateur photographers who wish to break into the professional market, the superb images and technical expertise offer something for all levels of skill and will also inspire those just becoming interested in photography and more established photographers who need to refocus their photographic motivation.

Hi
ReplyDeleteThese books are great for informing and inspiring you along with the technical aspect of this type of work,
Also you need to highlight within your blog actual images that in particular have drawn you attention.And compare and contrast how well your images measure against these in the book.
