Searching For The Light

Hi Folks,

One of the things I am learning in my quest to be a photographer is the importance of light.
Light is one of those things that goes to your minds eye. It points out the subject.
In the first photo I took a street photograph of a lady. No idea who the lady is but I love the scene because it is back lit and the light shining through the outline of her golden hair.
Just Love The Hair
She has a strange expression to be sure but like I said I wanted to catch the light which really made her hair shine.
She did not mind that I took her photo and she told me later that she thought she had seen a friend and was squinting she was a bit short sighted.

The second photo I was in Fremantle and I came across this nice golden light on St Patricks Basilica. I liked the golden soft light and I liked the golden arches as well.
The Golden Arches

I framed with the arches mainly in the viewfinder and exposed to get the correct colour of the late afternoon glow. I did do a series on St Patricks Basilica in a previous blog post but this is mainly about the light.
I am finding that I tend to underexpose an image slightly so that I can mainly accentuate the light.

My third photo is a stairway in Kings Park in Perth. I was down the bottom of the path and I came across this sight.
Where Do The Stairs Lead?
There is nothing special about the image as such but you find your eye going to the brightest part of the photo and you cant help but go up the stairs.
Unfortunately there was nobody coming down or going up which would have been more interesting as the person or dog even would have been illuminated.
I am always searching for the light in order to have really interesting photos.
Thank you for passing by and these are My Photographic Observation's .
