Hard lighting would be something like direct flash, not bounced in any way and giving very dense (Black) shadows and if you are not careful burnt-out highlights. Soft on the other hand would be something like bounced flash, using an umbrela for example or a big softbox, the contrast here would not be as high.
Just think of the difference in lightng between direct sunlight (hard) and the lighting on an overcast day (soft).
Hope that helps, after a couple of beers thats about the best I can do. |
