This photo was taken early in the morning and the sun had only been up for about an hour. The result was a soft light and the light is coming at a very flat angle.

I used a natural light source for this photo and it was around 2 in the afternoon, so the sun is above the subject. You can tell which light the angle is coming from because of the slight shadows being cast from the edges of the bench.

This print got messed up while it was drying and i didn't have time to fix it. Though I wish I did because I really like this print because of the darkness compared to the one spot of light on his face.

This is my photo of a hard light. The light is coming directly from one angle and shadows the rest of his face. I needed a filter of 5 because it was grey and i wanted to show the white of his eyes and the light reflections.

This print also needed a filter of 5 because of the greyness.

This is more of a soft light because the light is more evenly spread across his face and does not cast deep shadows, however it is concentrated mostly on his face.

This was tricky because of the direct sunlight coming from behind the tree. It was bleaching out the silhouetted blackness of the tree and fence. So I had to get the time right so that the the sun was bright enough and the tree was dark enough, and keep the detail of the scene.

My favorite part of this print is that you can see the sun rays coming past the fence.

I think this print lots of good lighting. You can see the clear difference between the water and the algae (which is kind of disgusting). Also the sky is bright, and you can see the details of the trees.
