Getting some hands-on practice can really change the way you understand lighting in photography!
When I first started, I felt lost with all the different theories and settings.
But when I began to try out various lighting situations, everything started to make sense. Here’s what I learned:
Trial and Error: By picking up my camera and testing different types of light—like natural sunlight, indoor lights, or backlighting—I could see how each one changed my photos. For example, taking pictures during the “golden hour” made my photos look warm and welcoming, while the bright sun at noon made shadows look really harsh.
Creative Freedom: Messing around with how light works pushed me to be more creative. When I shot through a sheer curtain or used colored filters, it changed my images in cool ways, making them stand out.
Developing Intuition: After practicing a lot, I started to get a good feel for what settings worked best for different situations. I discovered that sometimes even a tiny change, like shifting my angle or moving my subject, could make a big difference in the final photo.
In the end, practicing with hands-on experience not only improved my skills but also made photography a lot more fun and rewarding!
