By highlighting certain areas of a picture with front lighting, sidelighting, or backlighting, the play of light and shadow can create compelling graphic designs, interesting shapes, and striking patterns of color. Light can direct our attention to certain areas of a picture, and it can help define the shapes of subjects with rim lighting and trans-illumination (light coming through translucent subjects like leaves and fabric).

The Mysteries Of Long Exposure Expand Your Image Imagination by Art Rosch The human eye sees light in the moment. Film or sensors accumulate light through an entire exposure, as if it were a memory.

In-Camera Monochrome Contrast Control Get Film & Filter Looks With Your Digital Camera by George Schaub Although the images you create are in color (RGB) you also have the ability to create black and white images in your digital camera using the Monochrome “creative” or “picture style” setting. This “desaturates” the color but the image remains in RGB mode. Most cameras have various options in this style, including adding various “filter” effects. These emulate how a black and white film image would be altered when shooting with a color filter over the lens. Often called “color contrast” filters they affect how certain colors within the scene are rendered, making some lighter or darker than they would be without the filter. Get The Full Story Vote!
