Light in Photography

--The quantity of light entering the camera affects the object you are shooting. Less light gets in the faster the shutter speed is and more light makes a better depth of field. Contrast makes whatever your shooting look more 3D and gives it more depth.

--Soft difused light is light that speads out and it comes from an indirect source. The effect of this makes soft shadows and makes more details.

--Hard direct light is concentrated light directly from the source and this light comes from spot lights, flashlights, etc. The effect of this is hard shadows and creates depth.

--Front light is good for getting details and it is bad for background detail. Side light is good for adding depth and 3D effects but it is bad for capturing details.

--Back light is good for creating a siloutte and showing you the background but the bad part about back light is seeing the details and there might be hard shadows.
