Old Antique Toys

This blog discusses old toys from the early 1920's to the end of the 1950's. All kinds of topics are discussed. The time span was the greatest period for "hands-on" toys, where a young child could actually go outside and play for hours at a time. You can see the elegance but simple design of these toys. It was a time when huge machines, and people made and finished toys by hand. The era has long passed, but many of the toys are still around, and that is what I would like to share.

Lighting Continued - Harsh and Direct Lighting

June 19, 2011

I already started to discuss lighting in a previous posting or instalment on this blog. This posting is about harsh light.

Harsh light is light that is directly from a light source such as the sun, or a photo light. If you remember the previous instalment, soft light was either diffused or reflected off a silver or white card.

One light source (small spot light) from the upper left and high

One light source from the upper left and high,
and 1 silver reflector to the lower right near the truck

Two light sources:

1. from the upper left and high.

2. the other to the lower right and lower

and 1 silver reflector to the lower right near the truck

Diffused lighting:

Hardly any shadows, not much contrast between different parts of the car

Harsh lighting:

Some shadows, more contrast between different parts of the car
