beginning photographers often underestimate the critical role of light in photography, which will certainly lead to the production of poor-quality images.
While every professional wedding photographer and a family closely monitors the lighting conditions when shooting, and immediately makes the necessary amendments to the camera settings in the event of changes.
For correctly exposed photos must take into account the amount and quality of light at the time of the shooting, and be able to use them correctly.
overabundance of light falling on the matrix will result in overexposed (highlighted) pictures, the lack of - to underexposed (shadowed).
As for the quality of light, it can be divided into two groups: natural and artificial.
Natural light - the light obtained from natural sources, which include sunlight, moonlight.
Candlelight includes all kinds of spotlights, lights and flashes.
At the same time, artificial and natural light, the intensity of the filling can be divided into hard and soft.
Hard light - bright sun, spotlight, lantern, lamp.
Soft - cloudy, twilight, artificial light sources mounted with light diffusers.
By their function, the light in photos taken subdivided into filling (total), background light, modeling, painting and outline (Backlight).
Fill (common) light - can be both artificial and natural.His appointment - a common uniform illumination of the object.
light painting - a more intense lighting.Used to create the so-calledlighting effects.
Modelling light - a narrow directional beam of low intensity.Modelling light facilitates the transfer of the volume of the object.Sources modeling light, tend to use the narrow spotlights with ordinary incandescent lamp.
Contour (Backlight) light - serves to highlight the edges of the object from the background, by bringing to light the object border.The sources of light are the contour spotlights with a mean diameter of the reflector.To obtain the desired effect, the sources of the backlight is placed behind the subject at a close distance.Skillfully using the effect of the contour light wedding and family photographer gets some very interesting pictures.
background light - is responsible for lighting the background.It is assumed that the intensity of the background illumination is less, the intensity of illumination and the total draw light.
