Unnatural light!

Window light is ideal when one is painting from life but, IMHO, inadequate for photography because the film or CCD's aren't as perceptive to subtleties. I know people disagree with this but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!! Film stock doesn't begin to capture the tonal nuances that the eye perceives but it has movement, which distracts from its shortcomings.
