Hi All--
I really hope that I can sit down and write a long piece on lighting, because I've yet to be in complete agreement with a lot of suggestions put forth on the work of fellow forum members.
I would just like to submit this unretouched image as an example or creative yet realistic lighting. I wanted the scene to look like morning. The obvious lighting setup should include venetian blinds to suggest morning light peeking through. So I put a directional light on the scene, and then put a bunch of vertical slats in between the light source and the table top.
Finally, I added a weak, second directional light, a red one to warm the scene, to balance and soften the scene. Sort of like ambient light reflected off white walls.
I think the lighting is more expressive than the subject matter ! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
My Best,

Free education! The Writings Web site
and the updated GaryWorld Gallery is pretty okay, too.
