  What setting would you use for this picture?

  Taken by former student - Nicholas 
• you can do light painting too... 
• Write up... explain how you derived your setting for this project? (what was the lighting condition like?)
• how did the camera captured the motion?
• What did you do for your post-editting?
• How is your photo an artwork? (also include composition).

**************************************************

Peer Flickr critique... Pick your top 3 exposure triangle samples. 

1. Play nice! We’ve deliberately chosen photographs that aren’t perfect, so please be constructive with any criticism.
2. Feel free to offer any type of advice – composition, lighting, post-processing etc.
3. You can also link to photographs that you feel offer a great example of this type of image shot exceptionally well.

next week
Project #4: effect of changing Shutter Speed

Project # 3: ISO bracketing in different lights (WB)

task: demonstrate visual balance, or unity ( more than one subject) under different light. (color white must be present for White balance).
 


#41,42 ( incandescent : 3200K)
This Art work needs to demonstrate either visual balance, unity or contrast.
#43 #44 (fluorescent : 4000K)

ISO bracketing (#45) taking a picture at each ISO setting until you find the good one!

Project 3 (mini Test 2 out of 3)
Write up:  Include your pre-planning from last week too... (copy from email)
how did you create this artwork ( Composition )?
 what lighting did you use? how did it affect the appearance of "white" in your artwork?
did you plan for Project# 3 worked as planned? 
what problems did you encountered? (too much correction?) 
how did you solve it?
How did you determined the correct exposure? (ISO bracketing)
what did you learn from this Project?

Project/Test #2: Watch lesson 3 (Karl Taylor) on Soft Light Portrait

http://www.photography-tips-online.com/MC-GO620RtwIi123/MC-Introduction-H7dYTWF64.asp?KTLoc=&KTvideo=lfykclrsn&ContentID=Introduction&LessonID=Lesson3


Practice taking soft light with and without reflector
Soft light Portrait - practice in class with reflective light # 37, 38 (take picture of your group mate)

Project #2:
soft light portrait (no flash) with different focal length (18 mm, 35 mm and 55mm)
Use the lowest and highest APERTURE possible for these focal length in "A" or "Av" mode.


after watching Karl's video on how to take a portrait with natural lighting.
we will practice in class with reflectors and your classmates before you take the real one with your family member(s).

(by Mon) 3-28-16
first thing watch Karl Taylor's video #2 & 3 and write your plan for Project #2
(by Tues)3-29-16
then do the practice on Reflecting lights with a subject...

(Wed)
then try to to take a portrait with Bokeh effects by adjusting the setting... you should shoot in "A" mode. Take your photos at focal length18, 35, 55mm.
watch Karl Taylor's lesson 5: Natural (soft light) Portrait & understanding-depth-of-field-beginners

Highlights:

1. Choose the bright part as the photography background and significantly blur.

Choose the bright part of the light as the background, to avoid the picture gives a heavy impression. Evergreen plant's color is more concentrated, even if they are virtual, the color is not so beautiful. Shooting background does not have to be plants, you can also choose brightly colored walls.

2. Backlight makes the hair produce high light effect.

The subject's position must be carefully figured out, choose a suitable location, make the hair appear high light, it looks very shiny.The hair once seemed shiny, the expression of the character will give viewers a special impression. If the hair looks black, the whole picture will appear dark, so the photographer needs consciously add high light.

3. Use reflective panels to make the dark face become bright.

The effective use of reflectors can make the dim face become bright and the skin have rich texture. When shooting portraits, in principle, should use the backlight or edge-lit instead of smooth light. Reflectors are outdoor shooting portraits must carry tools.

4. While framing you can crop the arm.

Anyone would like to try to shoot beautiful photography background blur portrait photos. Manufacturing virtual lens elements are aperture size and focal length. These two factors affect each other produce blur effects.  Focal length of the lens is certain, the larger the aperture, the more obvious bokeh effect . Fixed aperture value, the longer the focal length, the more obvious the bokeh. From the conclusions, bright maximum aperture and longer focal length telephoto lens can bring the most obvious blur effect.

Review first before taking your pictures Lesson 6 from Karl Taylor
http://tech-tut.com/depth-of-field-quick-memory-cheat-sheet/

Posing your subject tips!

Karl Taylor's Lesson 5-8
Find a subject (your model) & go to a location with a large area of light, i.e. next to a window. the background should be at least 5 feet away.
Use a reflector to fill in the shadow... take a minimum
of 6 pictures for your write up. Shoot in (A) Aperture mode, let the camera decide the shutter speed for this assignment. start with ISO in 200. (adjust if necessary) Shoot in RAW + JPEG.
refer to blurry bkgd

  Good luck and have fun! 
(Thurs)Finish and upload portrait to Flickr.
( Fri)
