ABSTRACT
The behavior of light is largely predictable, yet its characteristics are affected by many factors. Professor of Neuroscience and author Beau Lotto, in his book Deviate, points out thatwe think of daylight as a simple journey from the sun to our eyes, the quality of the light that eventually hits our eyes is determined by three different sources. Of course, the first is the sun itself. The second is reflectors, the billions of surfaces that surround us at any moment in time. And finally, the source as transmitters – the space between you and the objects, like the air. The key to learning is to know exactly what readers are looking for. Get online and find a photograph from Joel Sartore’s series “The Photo Ark.” When they find an image, look for visual evidence that will help identify the quality of light.
