Digital Photo Tip: Where’s the Light?
Light doesn’t just provide the photons tjay excite your camera’s digital sensor. It can reveal shape and texture or hide imperfections, depending on the angle of the source relative to the subject. Light is one of the primary tools we use as photographers, whether we’re photographing people, birds, landscapes, widgets, or plants.
While there are many variations, we can boil light direction down to just three concepts: front, back, and side lighting. Continue reading

It’s not often that the Latin name of a plant tells us how tasty it is to eat. This month’s plant, Vaccinium deliciosum, has a name that does just that.

Digital Photo Tip: Soft and Hard Light
The way light plays across a subject can dramatically change your perception of it. Does your garden appear flat and one-dimensional or richly layered? Does texture appear or disappear in the sand on the beach? Are facial contours accented or hidden? Consider two aspects of light: the size of the source in relation to the subject and the direction from which the light strikes it. This month I’ll discuss how the size of a light source affects its quality. Next time I’ll cover the effect light direction has on revealing shape and texture. Continue reading
