          I found this photo of my cousin’s birthday cake from this summer. After learning about light for about a month the picture struck me a lot more now then it did when it was taken. It was taken outside during the night so the picture was only illuminated by the candlelight. I appreciate how the darkness greatly contrasts the illuminated part of the cake. The light seems to shine more on the left side of the cake and cuts off some of the right, it is also darker at the front of the cake then it is in the back because of the nametag. There is also an amber glow that seems to be a filter but is caused because of the candles reflection. I love how the picture was taken and what the light does to the colors of the cake. The roses are both red and black, and although the cake was one solid color the picture shows different variations of beige. I am glad to be able to see light in a new way.
