A sunny morning on Spittal beach.  Sunlight falling on the rippling surface of a tide pool casts tiger striped shadows on pebbles but in the photo the sunlight and the clear water are invisible.

Light is essential to photography but a photo may say little about the quality of that light. Here’s a scrapbook where sunlight (filtered, direct, diffuse or reflected) takes centre stage.
