painting with lightMany moons ago, a teacher told me that photography was the art of painting with light... such a simple phrase that sums up such a complicated subject. Thanks for shedding a little more light on it.

Informative ArticleInformative article with great images. Couple things you might consider adding:
1. The affect of lighting on texture. This could be especially useful for what might otherwise be a "boring old route shot"--being able to see the texture of the terrain could help others out. But, as I'm certain you're well aware, texture is a vital element of good photographs and its appearance is dramatically affected by the light.
2. In your paragraph about direction-less lighting, you might mention that this shooting situation is usually caused by an overcast day. Also, an overcast day eases the contrast in certain scenarios, such as when shooting under "spotty" shadows, like under a thinly vegetated forest canopy.

Re: Informative ArticleHey Mark,
Thanks for your helpful comments. I just finished working your 2nd suggestion into the article. I'll have to think a while before adding something on "texture" but will try to do it soon.

Re: Well done!Hey, thanks for the compliments and suggestions. As the "thirds", I thought Mark Dorion did a great job of covering that along with some of the other "rules" in his article "Cropping - The Kindest Cut" so didn't feel I needed to do so. As to "White Balance" and manual manipulation of digital shots, well, those remain for another article. Why don't you write it? I suspect you could do the subject justice. Mike.
