Day 2: Lack of Light

For the second day I want to talk about lights. I get highly affected by lights. The brighter the light the better. I noticed this last year when in our lecture room we discovered we could dim the lights, really bright, bright, medium, low or really low.

Lecturer went from really low to really bright. And I could sense a feeling growing inside me, kinda like a sense of happiness and contentment--making me practically glowing due to the intensity of the light.

I know why this is. It's because come the Autumn months, I suffer with S.A.D. really badly. The lack of light just causes me to become sad and really badly affected.

 

Instead, to treat it, I've found bright lights, lots of them, usually do the trick. That said, I could just walk into a light-chandelier shop and just jump around and be all cheered up. The fantastic lights! wooo!

But sadly, lights? Hmmm increase on the electricity bill, so no can do... :(

 

Physically I need lots of light. Spiritually, I have light... my path is lit up :)

 

On the contrary there's simply so much more to learn about light. I thought I knew, but evidently I do not. This photography thing is made up and highly affected by light, just like I am. What with white balance, natural light, shadows, exposure etc etc.

 

And there's the whole deal with light frequencies with regards to the strobes and studio lighting, which I don't think I'm ready to learn just yet... I'm sure I will, in time. And I'll love it all the more... As much as I love light, one thing at a time me thinks...
