Light and Bright Colors at Dunkin’ Donuts

According to Michael Langford & Philip Andrews in their book, Langford’s Starting Photography:  The guide to creating great images:

“Without light there would be no photography.  Such statement seems almost so simple and obvious that voicing it sounds ridiculous, but sometimes we need to be reminded just how crucial light is to the creation of our images.

There is no underestimating the importance of good lighting in the popular areas of portrature and table top photography.  After all it is the light itself that gives volume, texture and shape to your subject.  Just as a sculptor reveals the form of their subject by carving away pieces of stone from a shapeless block, so too the photogdapher reveals the form of their subjects by describing their surface and shape with skilful lighting control.”

As I ate my breakfast at Dunkin’ Donuts, I observered how the heavily-colored walls reflected the light coming in from the front and side windows.  I wanted to capture this scene saturated with color, volume, textures and shapes.  My Canon PowerShot A720 IS does a pretty good job in capturing color as you will see.  She’s not yet ready to send out to pasture.

This is what came out of the camera’s lens.  Here we go.
