That must have been a shocking experience! <br /> <br />Lighting is the arrangement of light, especially in photography. <br /> <br />The photo was dull because the lighting wasn’t good enough. <br /> <br /> <br />I hope I brought light into the matter and cleared up any confusion. <br /> <br /> <br />That’s it for today. See you next time.
