Digital Photo Media: Light as Subject (Exercise 2)

This is the series of photographs taken by me. The theme given from our lecturer was Light as a Subject. This is something really really new to me. I was abit blank and have no idea at all about the topic. After all the explanantion, research and consultation, I had a clear understanding about the topic.  I explored different kinds of techniques and ways to portray light as the main subject. Light painting, bokeh and some abstract shot. This assignment has helped me to have a better knowledge in handling and adjusting the camera. I have to be more observant of the surroundings and understand the uses of lights in photography.
