People in the mirror

I found this picture on the web and I liked to see the people captured in the shot. It is clear that the enviroment on the front has different light than the back of the photographer. The sunlight is hitting directly on the building behindof the two women. It looks if like a the light of the sun filters between the buildings because the women and the photographer doesn't receive direct light from the sun. Also the enviroment in the front of the photo doesn't receive direct light. All in front appear under a uniform light. This picture has a nice contrast of light. And the effect with the mirror help to create this contrast.

Reflection in the water

This early in the morning picture, or maybe at the end of the day has a reflect effect in the water (lake or river). But the leaves that come out from the water doesn't have a direct light. Is only the background that ilmuminates it. I mean, the fog, in the back, reflected light around the leaves, behind, and it creates a reflection over the water. The image is almost clean. Almost I cannot see the division of the water with the fog. It looks uniform. The blurry reflection of the leaves in the right show me that it is a reflection over the water.

Show effect

Last night I was playing my guitar and I saw this shadow in my wall. I found it interesting. I had little desk light behind of me. Tugsten light. I would like to create this kind of effects for a show. Maybe in front of a curtain before to open a show. I could use a backlight, shooting white light behind the artist and proyecting his shadow on the curtain. The people in the other side of the curtain could see his shadow. It could be a easy and a nice effect for a show.

London Street

Lights on all sides to illustrate this image. The light of two lanterns, the illuminated sign. The lights of the city, the buildings on the back of the picture. White light, colored light, fluorecent lights. The sky emitting a dark blue color at the begining of the night. This set of lights create a soft and colorful atmosphere in the middle of the night in this great city. The lights and noise from the traffic that surround this busy street of London, are the set of details that make this wonderful picture.

Light and trees.

A backlight. A few branches of a tree resting in front of the bright moonlight. It is an image that goes unnoticed to the naked eye. Easy to reproduce an image, whether for a photo, video, etc. A simple backlight, white light in the middle of the dark of the night. A shining light among the trees against the eyes of those who watch it. Sometimes the simplest thing becomes the most divine to appreciate.

Almost Perfect..

It seems a perfect light. Still I have my doubts. Computer could be in here, maybe. The windows look good, but in the mirror's reflection is blurred. The wall is dark and the mirror is brighter. The lamp shade is also not equal. Definitely this is done by a computer but the artist he forgot these little details. The light in the picture almost is perfect.

Nice Colors

Colors. The light feeds the colors? These beautiful stones seem to glow when exposed to daylight. The yellow and red, warm colors, are more brillant than the blue and green. The same light, the same location, the same container. Light that feed my senses, light that illuminates and gives a balance to the colors that create an atmosphere of sadness or joy. The sky is cloudy, I can see it in the bowl, but the stones shine. How would be the shine of these if they receive the sunlight directly?
