Capture ‘the beauty of artificial light’ in a short sequence of shots (‘beauty’ is, of course, a subjective term). The correct white balance setting will be important; this can get tricky – but interesting – if there are mixed light sources of different colour temperatures in the same shot. You can shoot indoors or outside and the light can be ambient or handheld flash.
Add the sequence to your learning log. In your notes try to describe the difference in the quality of light from the daylight shots in Exercise 4.1.
Simplicity. In the case of the images in this exercise I see simplicity being the key quality in artificial light that is less evident in natural light. That is to say natural light is likely to be much more complex. This is I think to be expected as natural light contains elements from the full visible spectrum whereas artificial light has only a limited slice through the spectrum. This is not always the case of course since the artificial light can take on a myriad of different colours and heats ( neon, tungsten etc ) however in the case of the images below, I have used a single source of light in an otherwise dark background to bring simplicity and strength of detail to the images.
