Lightbulb Light is Composition~

I just read a book by Alain Briot (Mastering Photographic Composition , Creativity , and Personal Style)

and it said "bad weather equals good photographs, By bad weather, I mean active weather.
Active weather is weather that is changing quickly. The Times either right after a strom or between two storms are excellent examples. If heavy rainstorm is coming to an end and the clouds start to open up to allow the sun to shine through, at time, right then, is one of the best times for photography you will ever find."

after i read that, i realize that i got the "Bad weather", and i go out from my dorm, going to the highest floor and wait the sun to shine through..
and it happens...

Light is composition

Well, your discussion certainly harks back to our early conversations about compositio. Deddy, you have scaled a new height with this photo. This one is over the moon good! My goodness the light is perfect and your composition is better than perfect. Not sure what you would call that! Weather...well, I like to say that here in the desert we don't have weather, we have climate. I do get excited, however, when we have some weather. I'll be look for those opportunities to shoot. Thanks...it is so fun to watch you develop into such a fine photographer.

Hi Deddy. Please keep on sharing these wonderful pieces of information as you work through your book. Your shot here just looks as if you have trained a gigantic flash unit on the highlighted buildings and picked them out. It is also important when reading such a book to do as you did and GO OUT AND DO IT. I look forward to your next share with keenness. Thank you. PAUL
