463- Lauren Ellis

I immediately loved this picture for numerous reasons.  The fact that the only light source is the sun outside of the car draws your eye deeper into the image and background. Also, because the sun is at an angle above the car, it does not shine into it, and it creates a silhoutted subject. The dark subject and inside of the car make for an interesting composition because it frames the image with darkness and pulls you into the light. Her loose strands of hair blowing in the wind along with her arm extended out of the window also pull your eye into the light/background.

This image, which is actually from the movie "Almost Famous," provides another example of a subject lit inside a car. Once again, the light comes from outside of the car. However, you can tell the sun is at a lower angle due to the fact that Kate Hudson's face is not completely silhoutted. In my opinion, it's actually coming from the right of the image because of the way that her hair and rim of her face are lit.
