Lighting tells us lots of special things. It tells us whether the environment is secure or not. It tells us whether or not we can rely on our scene.There is a reason why young ones are frightened of the dark, and this essay proves we have never truly grown out of that. But, not all photographs with intense shadow areas create this feeling of fear. In reality depending on how we set up the image, and photograph it, we can actually create something really attention-grabbing.
Light also has an effect on tone, texture, vibrancy and our background environment. We can be in charge of our lighting in a lot of ways; f-stop, shutter speed, using the flash, fine tuning the brightness of the flash, using additional lighting sources, using only one light source, using filters, altering our photos in Photoshop, moving a person from a dark space to a window and many more things. It's crucial to work with light due to the fact it can help you reveal your story. And story telling is what taking photos is all about.
When you need a well lit image but can't produce it, it can be tremendously difficult. This can consist of situations like shooting speedy movement indoors, without the subject being too blurry. This is nearly impossible so we then use additional lighting options to help us get additional light so we can speed up the shutter. We speed up the shutter so we don't shoot any blur. In a case like this we could use the flash, use a higher ISO to make the camera more receptive to light or use other lighting sources.
On saying that though, now and then you may not want a bright picture. At times you may want to make something entirely moody and intense, or alternatively, subdued and romantic. This may demand soft or very little light. You can still get lovely pictures with a small amount of light.
Many wedding photographs are used with very soft lighting. It makes the story and complete shot look gentle. Light from a window is an example of how lighting that can accomplish this. There are other ways to shoot lovely photos using very little light. I've done it many times. It takes time but soon you will know lighting and be able to create the mood and feeling you require.
You don't always have to take photos of people when using dim light. You can place an importance on the form of an object. You could only want to highlight certain things and not others. Let's take a look at an example of a photo I took with this exact theme in mind.
Canon 5D, F5.6, 1/250th of a second, ISO 4000, 105mm.
In this photo here I photographed my husband's fingers. He was in his art studio drawing up measurements for his next painting. As I noticed his hands move smoothly over the canvas I couldn't help noticing how beautiful the light was. It cast a gentle and warm light over the entire space. I sought to capture the softness of the action, by preserving the lighting on particular components of the image and not others.
