Experiments in Lighting

Bright Side
This photo shows good lighting. The lighting gives a warm, yet soft look and allows your attention to rest on the cat.

 Shadow
This photo is an example of bad lighting. Instead of a complete silhouette, the lighting was wrong an allowed detail to be barely seen on the dog's face. Instead of giving a mysterious vibe, it irritates you because you can only slightly see details.

Morning

 Photos taken in the morning tend to have a softer look to them, and usually seem brighter.

(Note that many pictures I take in the morning don't usually look this colorless. I'm not entirely sure why this happened.)

Midday
 Photos taken during midday are usually harsher in lighting and less appealing to the eye.

Evening
 Photos taken in the evening are usually softer, such as morning shots.
