A quiet pause to notice where light falls.

Afternoon light may come into a room for only a short time. It may make one part of a chair, curtain or wall brighter. A little later, the light may be gone.

NOTICE

Look for one place that has become brighter.
Notice where the light falls.
Stay with it for a few seconds.

SEE

Does it make a colour brighter?
Does it show more detail?
Does one area stand out from the area around it?

TRY

Find one ordinary place near a window.
Look for something the light makes brighter.

Make one photograph.

Keep it simple. One photograph is enough.

Free to read. No rush.
Just begin with one bright place.
