Lighting

These pictures are examples of different lighting. Lighting is one of the most important things in photography. It sets moods, draws attention, and characterizes photos. Below I have three different lightings: Natural lighting (light from the sun), indoor/artificial lighting (light bulbs), and the flash (flash could also classify as artificial lighting).
 
 This picture was taken inside, and without the flash. It is an example of indoor/artificial lighting.
 
 
 
This picture was taken at the same location as the one above, only I used the flash on this one. It is an example of flash lighting. -- I personally do not like using the flash while taking pictures unless necessary. Some photographers take amazing pictures with flashes, but I have not yet learned how to use them well enough for my photos to look good. I prefer natural lighting. --
 
 This picture was taken outside, without the flash, on a glass table. It was cloudy out on the day I took the picture, but if it was sunny it would probably look different. It is an example of natural lighting.

  1. Great example to use to test lighting. It really changes things! The lighting choice would all depend on why you wanted the pic...to sell the vase on ebay you might need a variety....flash to show detail and natural lighting to show beauty.
