2.2. Before/After

2.3. The bounce card in use

3. Direct

3.2. Creates harsh shadows and bright highlights

3.3. Can create difficulty when exposing

3.4. Information lost in shadows and highlights

4. Diffused

4.1. Light travels from source THROUGH something

4.2. A cloudy day produces diffused light

4.3. Produces softer light which creates soft highlights and shadows
