Lighting—the use and control of light—refers to how dimension, shape and roundness are defined in an image. Whether the light applied to an image is manmade or natural, proper use of it should enhance an image.
What gets me is that these guys just describe what they think each of the 12 stupid things they chose to talk about. Not only that they sound stupid to begin with, they don't tell you why it is important in what way, and why it is more important than the one that is following it.
Gee.
Lighting is very important in photography. No question about it. In fact, there are no photons, no photography as we speak. There would also be no love at first sight either. No irrational decision making. Oops. I am digressing.
I am sure that there are rules and theories about lighting. I am not sure what is commonly thought of as good use of lighting, or the other way around for that matter.
For lighting to be number four on the list is pretty lame. For me, it may well be number two or three, although not the very first, and that goes without saying.
If you would like to take good pictures(unlike me), then in order to get better with it, one needs to first be aware of where the lighting source is coming from. Direction is the key. Once you deal with enough times, then I think it becomes second nature. You can then concentrate on other aspect of lighting, such as intensity and colors and so on.
Here the main subject of this picture is "light." It has nothing to do with lighting . . . .
