Lesson

ph2-3. Morning Haze
​

A good photographer explores a wide range of light sources.

Today, for example, we’re shooting at 7 am. The sun rises at 7. 

But you’ll notice it’s hazy and starting to drizzle. 

It’s an ideal lighting situation because the light is soft and gentle. 

The thing to notice about this is to get up early and shoot around sunrise.

It can give you fabulous light you wouldn’t find in the middle of the day.

(Harris talking to himself)
Ten seconds, here we go.

(camera shutter)

When shooting in the early morning haze, you get a soft, gentle light.​

Practice

ph2-3p. Morning Haze
​

Take a picture of yourself in the morning before the sun rises. It's even better if it's misty or foggy. The light should be bluish-gray.
  1. Take a portrait of yourself.
Study your results, send it in with 25-75 words about your observations.
