MEDIUM LIGHT SOURCE:
TILL now u went thru bigger and smaller sources of light. in between these two extremes, there will be a range of infinite light sources. u just imagine a source positioned exactly between the bigger and smaller light sources and which is defined as a medium light source.
Medium light source gives directional light, but with softer shadows than that created by smaller light source. ...........this kind of lighting is excellent for PORTRAITURE as well as table-tops for illustrating gradation and form. Texture also is more distinct. ........shiny objects get especially well-lit as the high-light is well shaped. contrast is generally high and cud be reduced by using a bounce flash.
LET me clear ur curiosity about medium light.........here one of the most easily available medium light source lighting with natural light is a diffused window light. and outside comes the filtered sunlight during monsoon, which comes through a part of giant cloud, which becomes a big diffuser........and we refer as a medium light source....this can be under ths shadow (well-lit) of a tree and in house a covered verandah, where u can do manipulations by turning the subject and using a white thermocol as a reflector for any subject within its reach giving different ratios of light and shade. also can be used near an open door......this light is soft and gradual. this kind of loghting is best for portraiture. under this light, when shooting during morning or evening, a pale blue tinge may be caught......that can be done away with, UV or 1A skylight filter. or that can be corrected in post processing, if necessary......Thanks.......
