Light and Shadows.



I believe what makes photography unique is the balance between light and shadows. The balance between the two shows detail in the picture and makes it look realistic. In lighting for shows and concerts, the goal is to obtain adequate light on the subjects on stage.

Photography is an art form to where you can manipulate those two things in order to show emotion or aid in the storytelling process. Attached to this post are two pictures that I captured in which I believe has excellent shadow detail in them. The picture with the trees was taken in the early evening and the shadows fall very beautifully underneath.


The second image uses very nice shadow details during the sun setting. I did, however manipulate the saturation on this image as well as adjust the black levels to make the shadow details more prominent. Hope you enjoy looking at the images.
