would this be classed as natural light

Wonder if this is related to OP's class: Flickr: Discussing Module 6 in Photography Institute Course

I still can't figure out what the VI is, even after google.

I found the same results, which did not seem to lead to any definition.

I think we read something similar a couple of months ago where a teacher said to go out and make some "creatives", leaving the definition in class, and for us to wonder about.

booo...

Shush you face!

1) Stop with the silly remarks and in-jokes. If you want to joke around in a thread with friends then please head down to Off Topic and make a thread for it. New member threads shouldn't be used for humour value (indeed jokes at new members can often come off as insulting to those new members who've yet to get into the swing of the forum)

2) Please leave people a chance to reply before deciding that they are "not coming back" for them. Not everyone sits on the forum all day and many people only have a few time slots to get in to reply. Do show them proper respect and a chance to reply to clarify their position or answer questions that are raised in the discussion.


As for the Vanity Index I must admit that this is also my first time of hearing it as well, I'm afraid that the OP (original poster) will have to clarify further on this index. A reference to it such as a book or photographer who advocates it or even source material links to it would help a lot as it appears to be something that could be unique to a specific course and used as a teaching aid that the instructor has come up with (and is not a common index used in the industry at large).

I might as well close my account.

Nah. Fortunately, he doesn't MEAN we can't continue our silly remarks and in-jokes (and, I presume, snarkiness and incredibly clever sarcasm fall under the same indictment...)...just that we need to be on our BEST behavior (granted, runnah, for you that might mean just keeping quiet... :lmao: ) when commenting in new member's threads. You know, we should welcome them with open arms and gracious attitudes...lull them into a false sense of security and delude them into thinking they've found a wonderful, safe photography refuge...THEN we can pounce on them, like a hawk on a rat. :lmao:

I'm sorry Overread, I couldn't resist. I'm not making fun of the call to quit with the remarks in this thread, I'm just making fun of...well, of US, I guess.

OP: In case you come back and read through all the muck and mire, I hope you see a sense of humor in what most of us have said, and not a personal attack. We're just an odd lot, and when one of us posts a humorous or sarcastic response to a thread, we do all tend to "pile on" a bit from time to time. The point here is--we don't know what you mean by Vanity Index, so if you could be so kind as to give us a bit more information, perhaps we could be a lot more helpful, and even possibly a teeny bit less sarcastic.

I think I found the missing reference for this thread.

Perish the thought! I would miss your humour.

 

[kathyt]

Oh, WTF, Light is light! Vanity is vanity! I'm lost!

Rick, you are saucy tonight.

 

[kathyt]

The hell is the vanity index?

I have never heard of it either.

 

[pgriz]

Well, it's either the number of pictures of themselves that someone has (the politician vanity index), or it's the number of times the person refers to themselves in the third person (the sports jock vanity index)... But that doesn't work as a photographic principle.

 

[runnah]

Well all I know is that I am used as a unit of measure on the vanity scale.

 

[Josh66]

I'm still trying to figure it out too. Judging by the context the OP used it in, I think it must have something to do with lighting.

So, which kind of lighting is the most vain? And which would be the most humble? And how do you rank everything in between?
