Hi, this is Jay P. Morgan. Today we're talking about quality of light in our next installment of the Laws of Light series we've been doing here on The Slanted Lens. We'll be taking a look at faces in the next few videos. How and what to think about when you're choosing your lighting to photograph people.
Keep those cameras rollin' and keep on clickin'.

    How can someone give a tutorial a thumbs down? its an opinion, you don't have to agree, but remember its a free lesson from an instructor. IF you have a valid point make it in writing so we all can learn. We watch these videos to learn, so if you can do better Please share it and we will give you many thumbs UP.

    Good material and well presented. It also helps to think of sources of light in terms of relative size to the subject. The larger a source is in relation to a subject the less harsh it becomes. So a light bulb is a technically a 'hard' source. But there's a difference between a bare bulb 6 inches from the subject and a bare bulb 2 ft from the subject. The bulb 6 inches will be considerably 'softer' than the one 2 ft away. cheers.

    Rays coming from the sun and hitting the earth are pretty much parallel to each other so they act as a directional light and not a point source. Better check this stuff. The difference in photography is the direction of the shadows. For directional, shadows will be straight and parallel edges will stay parallel, for spotlights the shadows will diverge.

    2:48 you didnot soften the key light You did not change the quality of key light You just changed the contrast ratio by making the shadow less dense This is quite confusing for someone who needs basics 😳

    You can fill the shadows by using a reflector but it does not change the quality of light. Watch the rest and it will make more sense.

    @@TheSlantedLens Thanks for your answer I commented on what you say at 2:48 "you can soften hard source of light by bouncing light back" Not correct formulation. You opened up the shadows thus changed contrast ratio :) Thanks for your work Your channel is great!!
