Rembrandt Lighting

After mastering shutter speed, aperture and ISO, we did a project using full manual mode. We learned a bit about Rembrandt Lighting, a type of portrait lighting in which one side of the face is illuminated and there is a triangle of light on the other cheek.

ISO

To learn about ISO, students chose objects to photograph and adjusted the ISO to get one very noisy, one with no noise and two of your choice. 

200 (no noise) 

500

1000

6400 (very noisy)

Aperture

To learn about aperture we went on a field trip to a bridge closeby that is covered in graffiti. We set our cameras to aperture priority mode and adjusted it to try and get different things in focus.

f/10

 f/2.0

f/2.5

f/4.0

Shutter Speed

To learn about and experiment with shutter speed we took a walking field trip to a nearby waterfall. We put our cameras on Shutter Speed priority mode and adjusted it to get some different results.

 Taken at 1/8000 sec

                              Taken at 1/10 sec

  Taken at 1/160 sec

                                    Taken at 1/4 sec

A Walk in the Rain

Egg Project

For this project, we were working with lighting. We had to take five pictures of an egg being lit from all different angles; Frontlightimg, Backlighting, Sidelighting and two of your choice. Here are my results:

Front Lighting (light source is behind the camera)

Back Lighting (Light source is behind the subject)

    

Side Lighting (Light source is to the side of the subject)

Learning To See

On the first day of photo class we took a walk outside. The goal of our walk was to start learning to visualize good photos. We stopped at four locations and wrote down ideas for photos, then those photos were taken.
