Exercise: Softening the light.
For this exercise I set up a still life arrangement and fixed the light source more or less overhead, pointing down. The first image was created using a naked lamp. For the second image the light from the lamp was diffused.
The images are shown below:

| 5513.jpg; Naked lamp; F16; 1/125s |
 |
| 5514.jpg; Diffused lamp; F16; 1/90s |
What have I learned from this exercise?
The naked lamp has produced the better image. The surface texture is more pronounced. The diffused lamp produces a more even lighting but the detail of the object is less defined.
