This week’s assignment focuses on lighting. We were assigned to do four types of photos.
1. Silhouette
2. Side lighting
3. Transparent
4. Anything with cool lighting. Taking a picture of a shadow was suggested.
Yesterday I toyed with taking a picture of a glass of wine. The color was pretty in the crystal wine glass so I had to take the opportunity to capture the refreshing beverage.
Here’s Lucy with side lighting. I got this the other day when we were taking action shots. I had no idea it might work for this week’s assignment.

LOVE the wine glass pic! Beautifully framed! I especially like that you can see the shadow of the window frame in the wine. I too am enjoying lighting SO much more than action. And I agree…post-editing is part of the creative process. His suggestion that we not edit has caused me to be more careful and thoughtful about how I frame to begin. Ultimately, I would like to learn to take better photos that need less editing.
I too love the lighting assignment stay tuned for my sillouhette pictures soon. I have not turned in one edited picture for class. I too want to learn to frame in the picture–but that comes with practice.
