Lighting

I think that overall I did well on the lighting project. The feedback I recieved from the class seemed to agree with the idea I had set out for my picture. Most of it seemed positive. I tried to think outside of the box and find light that I could work with, such as streetlights or the sun. What I feel I gained most from those elements in my photos. I had shadows that really helped define that direct lighting, I was trying to capture. The feedback is a better idea of what is a better idea of what the different type of lighting is. When others commnet on the pictures, they pointed out things that I didn't even realize on my own. I was pleased to see that I achieved that.
I feel that the outcome of my photos where successful, but the process was difficult for me. The concepts behind the pictures and the lighting were difficult for me to understand, especially the diffused lighting. Maybe a suggestion to improve the understanding would be more examples of how to achieve this type of quality of picture. I feel that I would have had more of a wider variety of picture to picture to choose from, if I had a better understanding.
I really liked when we made a controlled lighting setting in class. I felt that, that activity really helped me with my understanding, but I had trouble keeping those ideas outside of the classroom.
Because I had so much trouble, I found that it was really beneficial that we had that in class discussion and feedback from others. I feel that I had it set in my only a few ideas of ways that the pictures could take form and my seeing the others it really opened my horizons, especially in silhouette.
I feel that I have learned a lot through this process and project. i feel that my pictures overall were successful.
