Some amateur advice on positions of light in photography
A chapter in the book Geoffrey's Musings.
Some Help On Photography
by Sankey
Just a bit of help. I am not a professional photographer and I still goof off some times...
But it is real important when taking a photo to have any light behind the photographer and shining ON the subject NOT behind them. The effect of light BEHIND the subject is to wash all over the subject.
I have on some occasions been able to fiddle with photos of friends I have seen where the light factor has messed them up but nothing better than doing it right first time ok! Off my soap box now!

Posted this on Face book re a photo I worked on from a friend today Thought it might help someone over here. This is a very old black and white photo of one of my favourite cats. See how the light coming through the window has washed the photo out.
