Day 2: An extra from my trip to dinner last night. I love night shots for their unique lighting opportunities.

Day 2 - late night shopping
Not an image I'd normally post - but in the spirit of the Light challenge thought I'd share this.
Handheld 7.51 pm in a shopping centre car park shooting towards the shopping centre with no light between me and the store.
The window was backlit - then there was the street-light on the left and the store lights which created the magic with the figures that I love so much, there but not there.
ISO 200
TV 1/5

A church near my job. Taken as the sun was going down over my right shoulder.

Get used to this location, I'm going to be posting most of the images from it ;) Another found/available light. There are more comments under each photo if you click on the links.
Direct sunlight. Here it is straight in to her eyes. Unmodified, direct, harsh shadows, squinting. Not good.
Here's a shot of the location. Just a street corner.
Here she hasn't moved, but we've turned 180 degrees. Eactly the same location in full sunlight. The sun is right behind her. I'm metering in center weighted mode. Light is bouncing from the fully lit stones around me to give catchlights in her eyes and some fill on her face. Again, no modifiers, just found light, about 5pm. A bit of lens flare softens out the corners. White balance is somewhere around shade or cloudy, to warm everything up a bit.

Sticking to my 2/3/2/3 day pattern I start off with
Being a Green Mother
Day 2
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/20
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Light Conditions: Saturday was a cloudy day with the sun occasionally peaking out. This was taken under the tree canopy where the light was 'dappled'. I lucked out (and proud of getting it) of capturing her in just the right location where her face was specifically illuminated from sun coming in through the tree canopy.

No real time to take photos today so this is a shot I took yesterday, similar lighting theme but completely different subject matter.
I will not be able to get a photo every day, so when I have time I will take more than one so that I can have 30 images by the end of the month. |

I'm going to get caught up on comments tonight. I have a meeting from 6 - 8.
Here is my 2nd day. Kitty. I'm trying my best to give all the info I can. Hope it helps.
I stood between kitty and the sun coming in from the door. It really helps knocking down some of the sunlight. I moved around until I find just enough light hitting her. Plus, all the sun bouncing off the walls helps alot!! The white walls act like reflectors. Same stuff, levels, dodge and burn. I added a bit of warmth to the picture also. I added all my info from the shot. Enjoy.

I like what you've done with these two very different mood with the same lighting.
Wanted to throw this in as a third example - basically the same lighting set-up, different gels, different mood.
Are you going to do the whole month of portraits with the same light ?

OK, I'm jumping in! ...with reckless abandon given my understanding of light, but I have sponge-like tendencies to learn.

No, but probably mostly studio shots. I thought it might be interesting though to see how much can be done with minimal equipment. |

Great White Egret I saw on my way from work. With my son in one hand and my camera in the other I was able to capture this shot.
