If anything is being affected by light, I'd say it's the shots of less-blue skin being the result of yellow light sources. In the first image you linked, the "Klingon" on the right is clearly holding a torch in his hand, and in the animated gif there are several torches visible in the background.
Yes, but we don't know what the lighting in the second image is.
Then there's these guys, from our first look at the new Klingons:
These actors are eating outside, and they're all brown. And I'm pretty sure the uniform matches the ones I showed bfore.
"Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"
— Sabaton, "Great War"
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
sorry i was being confused by the J.J. abrams start trek with scottie having been punished for a prank on admiral Archer with his prised begal but going to the wkipedia page it set enterprise 100 year before kirk so im assuming the 100 year gap in peeps seeing klingons they talk about has to be the stuff that went on during Archer's time?

The funny thing is part of the first officer's back story is that she survived a Klingon attack as a child, so they contradict themselves in the same episode.
TrekYards gets kudos for STO connections, but I've seen Foley act like a d*ck in his videos, and his comments, towards fans that don't like Trek like he does. Plus, he's a pretty big AxaLover.

I ain't got no time for that.
I love Axxanar, too, yo. Might be a shock, there ARE TOS fans, out there, and we love TOS. Sorry that does not vibe with your JJ or DS9 love. But if Star Wars fans can have their "DISCO!" style intact, we asking for the same love is not a big, unfair request. how about looking at us TOS fans as trek fans instead of liabilities?
And personally, I find Foley entertaining and honesty.
yup unless its star fleet not having had contact in 100yrs and her parents being kill was considered a non star fleet matter?
Contact I assume means talking, but it does break their mystique in this era if Klingons have been conducting the odd raid. It also brings up the question of why now "how to make peaceful contact with the Klingons" is such a new point for Starfleet to consider (such that they made the stock speech that didn't take advantage of any info on Klingon society), why "how the Vulcans made peace" is such a closely guarded secret that Burnam felt it necessary to bring to her captain's attention in a critical moment, and why she had to make an outgoing call to gain that information (and not say: query the ship's computer.) Archer had insight into working with Klingons and if there's been no contact in a century that info would be as relevant as the overall shape of the Earth-Romulan war were in Balance of Terror.
I think you can ultimately chop this up to the writers still learning how to handle sci-fi world building and plot development. You can work your way to a plausible explanation but it takes additional effort. That wouldn't be necessary if the setting was totally cohesive.

FWIW, I also have a TOS Connie (the pewter 30th Anniversary Hallmark one) floating above my head every day. My opinion of Foley has zero to do with his love of TOS.

Alex Kurtzman is the lead writer and co-creator of Star Trek: Discovery. I think he has some experience in sci-fi world building and plot development. I don't think you need to put on kid-gloves when criticizing the results of him or his team.
Heh, it is funny, until recently there had been speculation that the guys at Trekyards had sold out and were unofficially promoting Discovery. Now that it has aired we finally see Foley revert back to his TOS-centric viewpoint. Anyone who is familiar with Trekyards should know that there was no way a TOS-prequel would ever satisfy Foley.
I came in with some low expectations, came away pleased. Some errors, i.e. haven't had contact with Klingons in 100 years and a cold war, yet there's a Klingon raid in the 1st officer's background story. Annoying but overall I like what I see so far.
The appearance is new and there are still nods to even TOS. It still surprises me how much in effects, etc. is going into this TV show.
IDW did a special edition Star Trek comic entirely written in the Klingon language. A bit of a novelty though if you can't read the language. It also included special variant covers that were TMP era movie posters recast with the reboot actors, I found those particularly amusing.

Yeah see the recent video with both of them. They still sold out. Continuity, what's that. They couldn't even keep the story straight in the same episode. Logic, **** logic, we can cover that up with some lens flair and pretty graphics and a pretty face. Yeah I had my bar set super low and they somehow managed worse...and they are with a straight face saying they can't wait to see more.
Sounds like they lived up to the high standards set by TOS.

Nope, too much continuity with the past, and a more coherent story that wasn't wrapped up within an hour.

Nitpicking nitpicks: They said almost no one had contact with the Klingons in a hundred years. That suggests that the raid was a one-off event and didn't affect many people.

Indeed. And, if we're splitting hairs here... we've seen species-specific ships, colonies, civilian groups, etc... and such instances were NOT necessarily referred to as Federation instances. So, in the minds of the writers, this is probably one of those instances. At least at this point, it doesn't sound like this one-off raid happened on a Starfleet or strictly Federation outpost. It was a Vulcan facility, and it had humans on it. In other words, there's room for nuance.
Given the Augment virus, too, it's not that surprising that the Empire decided to close itself off for 100 years... and for someone like T'Kuvma to come in and play off of those fears/feelings for his own gains.

This can't be true.
The raids (plural) is one of the things that brought the Vulcans into conflict with the Klingons. Sarek implied several encounters when he spoke to Burnham. Also, I believe the scene in the science academy says "raids" (plural).

The encounters Sarek refers to predate the Federation, I think it predates even the humans leaving the solar system. It was the time when the Vulcans were an independent star-faring species.
In the current time in Star Trek history, it would be a Federation/Starfleet affair if the Klingons would attack. That's also why the "Vulcan Hello" wasn't really common knowledge - it wasn't anything recent.
