Exercise; The lighting angle

Once you have worked out a manageable system for diffusing a single light, you can now experiment with using it from different directions.

I decided to use the same figuring I used for the previous exercise.

I kept the camera on a tripod aimed horizontally at the subject.

For the first set of images, the diffuser was fitted to the lamp. I then kept it at the same level as the subject and camera. I took the first image with it facing directly at the subject, second was to the side of the subject, the third was behind the subject whilst being off to the side, fourth was directly behind the subject but not in shot.

The next set of photographs were the same, however, the light was above the subject but pointed down at an angle of about 45 degrees.
