I'm reminded of a picture from another meeting, of a hillside, in California I think it was, on which light was working in a variety of different ways. Direct, diffused, shadows of both those, light that was being refracted, by the air, by little particles of dust in the air.<br /><br />Of course it's not just seeing light but seeing it how the camera sees it. Knowing how the camera is going to see something is evident in all your work, but here, it's how it sees light. <br /><br />Light is invisible until it's refracted into it's different bands.
