I'm taking an online class in food photography and the first lesson, which is this week, is all about light. Direction, quality, quantity .... The idea is to shoot a subject with the camera at 90°, 135°, 180° to the key light, to use a reflector at various distances etc. and observe the different effects. I intended to take notes while shooting but soon found that to be very tedious. In the end I couldn't say with any certainty what I did to get what effect. But it certainly made me more observant of light and shadows.
