Photography: Light Contrast and Light Color

This lesson is part of the series: Fundamentals of Photographic Light

This lesson covers the importance of contrast and the color and type of light source. Learn how the human eye and camera view and record light and contrast. A brief explanation and demonstration of incident light meters show how they can bridge the gap between the human eye and camera lens.

Learn about light sources and how their relative size and distance to your subject can affect your final photo. This leads to an in depth discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of both hard and soft lighting.

When someone decides to get truly serious about the study of photography, they begin to study light. This lesson is excerpted from the DVD Learn Photographic Light, Film & Digital, which is an excellent resource for those looking to learn the fundamentals of light as it pertains to photography. This is the first segment cut from the DVD and includes chapters 4 and 5 (covering the subjects of light contrast and light colors).
