Who cares about light

So to give a little background about this blog, I am writing about anything and everything I know about photography as well as showing photographs that I have either taken or very impressed by. To explain the name, one of the major factors in taking a good picture is of course in the light! As any amateur photographer can tell you, flash and lighting can make the difference between a good picture and a very poor one. Next time you're about to take a picture, consider the lighting. A good way to learn how it can affect your picture is to go outside on a sunny day and face different directions in each picture. You'll notice shadow differences on the object or person. For example, if the subject is looking away from the sun then the person will look underexposed or filled with shadows, almost looking like a silhouette. Go outside and try it and comment to let me know how it went!
