Photography Basics – Lighting: Over Exposure

Page 4: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Photography Basics – Lighting: Under Exposure

Page 5: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Photography Basics – Lighting: Good Exposure

Photography Basics – Lighting: Diffusing/Diffusers

This is my diffuser – used to take pictures of small

objects, rather than outside or people as its an enclose cube-

like shape

Examples of different diffusers/ ways of diffusing

Holding a white paper over the flash

Putting bottle bottom over flash

Using white reflective umbrella's

Holding a white screen where the flash is

flashing

Photography Basics – Deep Focus

Poor focus of everything in

shot

Everything in shot is focused

Photography Basics – Leading Lines

Normal shot of road

What is high key lighting?

• reduces the lighting ratio present in the scene• High key photos are very bright• Doesn’t have very strong contrasts

Lighting – High Key

Page 11: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Lighting – High KeyExamples

Page 12: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

What is low key lighting?

• Creates dark looking photographs• Low-key lighting often uses only one key light,

optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector

• Creates strong contrast• Low key lighting describes any scene with a high

lighting ratio,

Lighting – Low Key

Shutter speed – what is it?

• It’s the exposure time - the length of time a camera's shutter is open

• It is how quickly a shutter opens

Page 15: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

What is shallow focus?

• When the main object or person is in focus and the background is blurry

• Incorporates a small depth of field

Shallow focus

Shallow focus

Examples

Rule of thirds• It is the theory that an image should be imagined as

divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines

• Also the idea that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections

• Purpose is to make photographs look more pleasant to view

Composition – rule of thirds/powerpoints

Page 18: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Powerpoints• Similar to rule of thirds• its the 4 axis points where the horizontal and

vertical lines join.• The theory is that objects positioned in the

powerpoints create the finest composition

Composition – rule of thirds/powerpoints

Lighting - Fill

Fill lighting is used fill in any shady or dark areas by placing

Used to give a more clearer rounded photograph

Page 21: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Lighting – Fill (Found Images)

•Fill lighting used to highlight and show all features and details in the image giving even and enough light for all to be seen

• Only one direct light on the persons face• Making the rest of the image dark and features cannot be seen

With Fill Lighting Without Fill Lighting

Lighting – Fill (Found Images)

Without Fill Lighting With Fill Lighting

•Without the whole face is not visible

•With fill lighting features are visible and clear to see

Page 23: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Shutter Speed – Fast & Slow

Shutter speed determines the clarity and effect of an image taken...

Slow Shutter speed•The longer the shutter is open the more it will take in •Producing a blurry image and an object or thing is in motion

Mid-Shutter Speed•The shutter is open for a shorter period of time •Being able to capture movement a bit more clearer

Fast Shutter Speed•The shutter is open for less an a split second•Capturing a clear image of an moving object or thing

Page 24: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Shutter Speed – Fast & Slow (Found Image)

With slow shutter speed all you see is a blur as the shutter has taken in so much information

With fast shutter speed its more clear as the shutter has been open for a very short period of time taking less information

Page 25: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Transferring Photos To Computer

Their are many ways to Transfer images to your computer, some of which are...

iCloud SD Card Social Media

Using iCloud an online storage service you can send

the image electronically

An SD card holding all your photos can be taken and

inserted into an SD slot on your computer/laptop

If the image is taken from your phone there are different options to send to your computer

Page 26: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Composition – Changing Angle/Perspective

Changing angle is using different position and angles to give different views/perspective of an otherwise normal setting

This makes images more interesting and eye catching to the viewer

Page 27: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Composition – Changing Angle/Perspective (Found Images)

This image taken from the ground up give the building more height and more eye

catching

This angle give the image more life and looks exciting and a rush

Page 28: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

Composition – Changing Angle/Perspective (My Image)

This image taken from above gives a more interesting view than what would have been if on the ground

What does reflecting light mean?

• Reflection is defined as the bouncing back of a ray of light into the same medium, when it strikes a surface.

• It occurs on almost all surfaces - some reflect a major fraction of the incident light.

• Others reflect only a part of it, while absorb the rest.

Page 30: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

A found example

Without Reflector With Reflector

• There is a dark shadow on her neck caused by her chin.

• There is much more light on the neck now because its being reflected.

Page 31: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

A found example

Without Reflector With Reflector

• The colour of her top is much darker due to lack of light.• With a reflector the top becomes lighter.

• Dark shadow on her face and body caused by object from above blocking light.

• The light reflecting is filling the dark areas of the previous photo.

Page 32: Assignment #14 (p1): Photography Research And Prectice

How I used a home-made light reflector:

• I took a laminated piece of paper.

• I wrapped the paper in tinfoil.

• I then held the paper up next to the subject.

• The tinfoil reflected the light in the room onto the subject.
