Diffused: This photo illustrates diffused light with fog and mist over an ice field on Mt. Tomuraushi in Daisetsuzan National Park (in Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island).

Hard: This photo illustrates hard light with a clearly defined shadow.

Light Clips

Soft Light: Afghan women in a shelter: The light entering through the windows creates the effect of soft light.

Diffused Light: (#11 on Big Picture) Girls react after colored powder is thrown on them: The light catches the powder in the air creating diffused light.

Hard Light: (#19 on Big Picture) A coal worker stacks wood : The harsh, short shadows denote hard light. The color of the light is also that of midday when the sun is high in the sky creating a harder light on the subjects.

Light Clips

I just realized these were due yesterday, so I know they won't count but I wanted to post them anyway. 

Soft light: Number 2  on this list. The shadows under the dogs are very, very light and almost nonexistent. The light gets slightly harsher up the mountain though as the shadows behind the trees are more prominent. 

Hard light: Number 14 in this slideshow. Very direct source of light and harsh, defined shadows. 

Diffused light: Number 13   on this list. The dust around the wolf and the dog are causing the diffused light. 

Lighting

My examples of hard and soft lighting are from the same website. My choice for hard lighting is #9, which also displays some great golden lighting. The example of soft light that I chose was #19.

Picture #4. This is my example of diffused lighting.

Sorry these were a bit late, we did not have internet access like we were told we would at the condo, so I did these as soon as I could. Apologies.

Clips in honor of St. Patrick's Day!

As a native of Savannah, Ga, the themes of my photo clips are in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  This first photo contains hard light. The shadows and the light coming off of the backs of the women are the star of this show. The second photo is soft light.  There are not very many shadows.  It looks as though it may have been taken at night time.   I might consider this photo to contain diffused light.  It is a photo of a horse shoe from the Budweiser Clydesdales from Savannah's St. Patrick's day.
