SMALLER LIGHT SOURCE:
THIS light source is directional and casts hard-edged shadows. the sun is a small light source and its rays form harsh shadows.......as opposite to bigger light source, though also this source is bigger light source, it is so far away that it appears to be a smaller light source.
SMALL light sources are excellent in rendering texture and form. used in the right manner, direct sunlight can emphasise parts of a picture or the shape of an object.. on the positive side, smaller light sources inject life into small and simple objects with its direct-throw of hightlights and sharp shadows.......contrasts increase and many interesting effects can be created only with small light sources.
APART from texture, contrast and its ability to pick out natural visual patterns, smaller light sources create pointing and harsh highlights on objects. form tends to be more pronounced with this kind of lighting.. ..however, when the highlights add to the form and depth of an object, strong hightlights can be the cause of glare and distracting the metering system of the camera. despite the drawbacks, the glare can be removed by use of polariser and use of lenshood......this sort of lighting can make colours look brighter and vibrant..........however working with this type of lighting usually needs a certain amount of pre-planning.......(to continue).......(gshroti@gmail.com).
