I always prefer to use daylight if available, and I welcome light patterns shaped by light and a window.

Here are two images shot some minutes apart, using the same light but with vastly different outcomes.

This is what I like about daylight.

It’s immovable, but you can choose how to use it, and you can never recreate the same image again, as the light (in Denmark at least ) is always different.

Now imagine both these images without the light shape in the background. It wouldn’t be that same exciting image.

A solid graphical shape in the image allows you to make compositions that flow with or against the light. The important thing is that it attracts attention and helps your vision become more attractive.

And we all want that, I think.
