Seeing The Light

The past couple of weeks I've been attending a photography class called Travel photography at the local evening university. I love to learn so any opportunity I have, if it's an interest of mine I take it. My reason behind taking this particular class was because I just cannot, no matter how hard I try capture an image of a person that describes a scene or a place I travel to. I can take photographs of landscapes and cityscapes all day long, but people just allude me. Anyway last night I'm sitting in class and the instructor is explaining light and how different angles of light affect the photograph. Then the light bulb went on in my head. There is a saying in photography that goes like this "You need to see the light" and as much as I tried i just didn't grasp the concept and then last night for the first time I "Saw the light". So I hope that I can now practice seeing the light and make my photographs even better.

This photograph is of the road that leads up to Adler Planetarium in Chicago.
