Assignment Four: Applying Lighting Techniques

Introduction

I got stuck.

For weeks I fretted about how best to tackle this assignment.  I had whipped through the exercises in the course of a week’s vacation, but when I began to think about how to approach the assignment I was restrained by a lack of confidence.  I read books about lighting.  I watched videos about lighting.  But I never got any closer to actually doing the assignment.
