Laws of Light: Quality of Light

Hi, this is Jay P. Morgan. Today we're talking about quality of light in our next installment of the Laws of Light series we've been doing here on The Slanted Lens. We'll be taking a look at faces in the next few videos. How and what to think about when you're choosing your lighting to photograph people.

Keep those cameras rollin' and keep on clickin'.

Thanks. These Laws of Light workshop demos are great. Appreciate you sharing your Art Center & real world technical knowledge to us in Youtube land!

How can someone give a tutorial a thumbs down? its an opinion, you don't have to agree, but remember its a free lesson from an instructor. IF you have a valid point make it in writing so we all can learn. We watch these videos to learn, so if you can do better Please share it and we will give you many thumbs UP.

I've been getting into drawing and am learning about value atm, this series is a great help, the understandable explanations along with the subjects used during it makes this really easy to consume, thank you!

Greetings from Honduras, you are the best, is very easy to understand the way you teach.

Thanks very much for this Jay.
I really liked the video display of how the light modifications were shown - easier than viewing side by side photo comparisons. Also, nice graphical examples too. Well done.

Great video as usual J.P.! Was a pleasure to meet you at the tamron booth at WPPI. I am the guy with the small Super Takumar lens on the Sony that you've been amazed by. Keep up the good work sir ;)

Good material and well presented. It also helps to think of sources of light in terms of relative size to the subject.

The larger a source is in relation to a subject the less harsh it becomes. So a light bulb is a technically a 'hard' source. But there's a difference between a bare bulb 6 inches from the subject and a bare bulb 2 ft from the subject. The bulb 6 inches will be considerably 'softer' than the one 2 ft away.

cheers.

I'm just thinking about all different kinds of sunlight: very bright sunlight without any cloud from the blue sky, cloudy sunlight, sunlight through the trees, sunlight on the how do you shoot them? Any photo examples? Thanks for the great lesson!

[curlyhead]
