Lighting and Composition.

The lighting and time of day that an image is captured in can effect the overall look of the final piece. Depending on ho the image is composed, the photograph could show different aspects of the same object. Different lighting conditions can compliment objects in different ways. 'Flash' is now widely used in photography to help find the best lighting conditions for the object being photographed, however natural light is just as important.

These to photographs are of the same object from two different angles and lighting conditions. As you can see, the overall composition seems very different. This shows that the lighting and angles of an object have a huge impact on the overall product. The first photo shows the bridge's age and discolouration, and also the reflection in the water, whereas photo two makes the bridge look more modern, and the reflection in the water isn't as effective. Being able to see the ageing of the bridge is to do with lighting, and the reflection in the water is to do with positioning and composition.
