Light photos: hard, soft and diffused

A little early, but here are my three images.

The New York Times has been doing a lot of narrated slideshows of Manhattan lately, and I've yet to find one that disappoints. This one is by photographer James Hill, who spent a couple weeks shooting in New York. I like the entire collection, but there are a few good examples of hard light toward the end, starting around 1:22 when he starts talking about Central Park. There's one of the subway at the end that I think is a good example too. He talks about New York's "unique light."

This photo is my soft light example from The Red & Black, taken on March 1, aka snowstorm day.

And last but not least, a photo with diffused light.
