Photography 1 - Light - The time of Day - Dawn to Dusk - Exercise Variety with a Low Sun

 Frontal lighting

The sun in this image was fully behind the camera. There was no direct reflection due to the texture of the insect house and the angle of the tin roof. The image is warm but a little flat.

Side lighting

The left edge of the image is brightly lit whilst the back is in shadow. Care was taken to get the nest overall exposure. Texture is improved, partly by the variety of sizes of cane that make up the construction.

Back lighting

The sun in this image was directly behind the insect house. The exposure was made 3 stop greater than that indicated by the camera's meter.

Edge lighting

 The edge of the house was lit by the sun behind but outside the viewfinder of the camera.
