Rule Of Thirds Image 

This was an image taken where I have training for paddling. I edited to create the bottom part into a silhouette kind of look. I really liked the colour in this image.

Week 7 High Key Lighting and Split Face

This is a portrait image of Katie with the use of High Key lighting. 

High key lighting are images that are mostly bright. The use a fill light to fill in shadows Cast from Key Light which provides extra details. 

High Key brightest light, Doing most of illumination and dimensional rendering of subject. 

The background light is used to illuminate the background area of a set. It also provides a separation between the subject and the background.

The fill light is used to eliminate or style shadows caused by the main light source. 

I really like this image of Katie and we can see that she is separated from the background and I think that this lighting works really well in the studio. I really like this image of Katie we had taken the jumper which the dark shirt looked a lot better. 

Split Lighting

Split Face lighting. You have one key light in the studio on the side that you want lit up. 

- The light meter to help us gain a indication of what aperture to use

- One key light to light one half of the face

- Always shot in camera raw so i had to change the image to a JPEG

The light had to be place right on the opposite side of the subject to light her face. Depending on the shape of your face you have to look at how it works. I really wanna develop my skills in studio photography. 

Week 6 Camera Excercises - Texture, Pattern and Line

 ISO: 100
 FSTOP: 7.1
 SHUTTER: 1/100

I used my zoom lens to take this image. I focused in the detail of this image to get the texture nice and close.

I really like the colour in this image. I think if I added vibrance to this it would look really good. The use of DOF makes it stand out as well.

 Another one of my texture images.

Used the same lens to get right up close with the texture and really show that through the image.


ISO: 100
FSTOP: 7.1
SHUTTER 1/100

 The pattern are the chairs that go along outside the cafeteria. It shows repetition also on the chairs as well.

ISO: 100
FSTOP: 18.0
SHUTTER: 1/13

This is my leading line towards the black bin.

The lines on the chair leads towards the image real clearly. I really like how the line leads right towards the bin on the chair.

ISO: 100
FSTOP: 18.0
SHUTTER: 1/13

Week 6 Editing Images

This is the fixed image I straighten this out because it looked not straight. So I used the ruler tool to help me fix it and bring the detail into the image. I noticed that the image looked a bit soft as well. 

My before and after for my Camera Raw exercise. I used the greyscale tool to help me  turn this into a black and white image. I don't really like the composition of this image. 

Week 4 Monday

 This is the close focal length

Fstop: 8.0
Shutter: 1/60
ISO: 200

 

Mid Focal Length
Fstop: 11.0
Shutter: 1/60
Iso: 200

Long Focal Length
Fstop: 11.0
Shutter: 1/60
ISO: 200








- You can see the huge difference between each image in these 3 images.
- I think that the closer you are you make the image look a lot better
- It doesn't look as busy in the first image

 

Rule of Third Image

I put Barbara on the second line which is on the bottom intersection of the rule of thirds if we look at it. 

ISO: 400

FSTOP: 9.0 

SHUTTER: 1/500

The sky is quite bright in this image. This image isn't probably the best I tried working with the lines and putting hill on the horizon line.

Week 3 Thursday

SEYDOU KEITA

African portraitist Seydou Keita live in Bamako, Mali from 1921to 2001. Self-taught photographer, the artist opened his own studio in 1948 and specialised in portraiture.

Number of his clients were drawn to the quality of a lot of his images. Majority were young men dressed in European clothing.

Seydou primarily worked with daylight.

    

ISO: 800

FSTOP: 7.1

SHUTTER: 1/60

It was hard to find a background that was similar for this image. Especially a dark background like the one above. 

Compositional Technique

- I used the cropping tool for this image because there were things on the side of the two people. 

- I used my macro lens to take the image

- I tried to get the both of them in the centre of the image. 

- I sat at eye level with the two models. I wanted to try and get the same level 

SLOW SHUTTER SPEED

ISO: 400

SHUTTER: 4.0

FSTOP: 4.0

This was the outcome of my slow shutter speed. We had to try a couple of times due to the shutter speed not being fast enough to get the whole drawing. 

The slower the shutter speed line is more defined in the image which I noticed during the process of creating this image. I think it would of worked really well If we were in a darker area. 

Week 2 Thurday - Shutter Priority

    















- The sky is quite bright you can't see much detail in the background in the sky
- I like the second image as it captures barbara movement as she jumps up
- I like how everything is in focused but the can.
- The faster the shutter speed it catches movement a lot better

SELF DIRECTED

ISO: 800
FSTOP: 4.5
SHUTTER: 1/60


In majority of my images I had to edit and expose them a bit more because the lighting in my images didn't work out and it was too dark. I wanted to experiment with the different colours and the editing tool on bridge. I played with temperature and tinting

We can see that as the water pours the water isn't really in focused due to the slow shutter speed.

  

ISO: 800
FSTOP: 4.5
SHUTTER: 1/250

The water is seen sharper in this image because the shutter speed goes up. I really like this shot because of the composition and how the water falls.

I wish the water was tipping in the middle of the image. I think it would of been useful using the rule of thirds for this image.

ISO: 1600
FSTOP: 4.5
SHUTTER: 1/500




In this image I tried to get the glass out of the picture but we can tell that there is more detail in the water as it is being poured out onto the sink.

I really like working with fast shutter speed also. It manages to capture the small little details

ISO: 1600
FSTOP: 4.5
SHUTTER: 1/1000

In my last images the ISO is a high ISO so in my last images the picture maybe noisy and grainy. I took the ISO up because the light inside wasn't strong enough.

The fast the shutter speed it can capture the little details in the water. The lines as the water pours onto the sink I really like.
