Light: Activity 3

Light: Activity 3

1. This photo is an example of one shot directly into the light. The strong light and the surface of the water (acting as a reflector), intensify the light so that the ducks lose detail and become merely silhouettes. The photographer could have either used TTL application on his camera to find the light meter reading.

2. This picture takes advantage of the golden hue of the natural setting sunlight to enhance the gold tones in the flower. The photographer may have taken a light meter reading for this photo by using a handheld exposure meter.

Light: Activity 2

1. Single Light Example- In this photograph, it is clear there is only one source of light in the dark set.    This single light and the angle of it shining on the cat's face enhances the composition of the photo because the texture of the cat's fur is much more detailed, and this along with the cat's expression create an element of sophistication.

2. Multiple Light Example- In this picture, it is evident that there is a light source shining on her face as well as the tiny bulbs of light in the background. The added light sources, especially the blurred ones in the background make the photo overall more warm and whimsical.

Shooting with Hard Light

1. In this example, it's clear that the model is in a dark room with one or several beams of light positioned around him. This style of lighting allows a multi dimensional view of the subject and the texture of the skin becomes much more detailed.

2. In this example, hard lighting is also used, but there is less light than the first example. This adds a mysterious element to the photo because you can only see one part of her face and the rest is hidden.

Shooting with Soft Light

1. In this photo, very soft natural lighting is used. This along with the young girl in the picture add an element of innocence, and creates a much softer and happier tone than the examples of hard lighting above.
