AIM:Which Focal length produces the best Bokeh effect?
who is your model(s)? anybody outside of Photography class _____________________
how will you pose your subject? (posing video) take only from chest up "go close" and the background should be at least 5 feet away.
where will you be taking the photo? Indoor or outdoor
what kind of lighting? __________ reflector needed? Yes or No
what is your DSLR setting? what mode will you be shooting in? ____
how will you set up for each photo? upload to Flickr
# 49abc- Control ( all clear and focus) aperture = ( take at 3 focal lengths)
# 50 a Bokeh at 18 mm aperture=
# 50 b Bokeh at 35 mm aperture=
# 50 c Bokeh at 55 mm aperture=
(move in and out as you adjust the zoom on the lens to keep the subject same size)
#50 d Photoshopped so its your ART piece. goto Edit and use the photo editor.
***********************************************************************************************************
Weekend reminder finish up your photostory# 2 with Element of art and design principles (10 pictures in all)
so you can concentrate on your project # 2 next week.
**********************************************************************************************************
if you are still not sure about EXPOSURE Triangle watch these video on ISO control / Aperture control / Shutter speed - and learn to adjust them.
Start on Project # 2 (Test 2) write up printed Due Thursday day 3-29-18
email your proposal of Project # 2 today (if you are not sure what to write watch the video from last week again)
Project #2:
soft light portrait (no flash) with different focal length (18 mm, 35 mm and 55mm)
Use the smallest and largest APERTURE possible for these focal length in "Av" mode.
then try to to take a portrait with Bokeh effects by adjusting the setting... you should shoot in "Av" mode. Take your photos at focal length 18, 35, 55 mm.(Flickr # 50 a,b,c)
notice the difference in focal length.
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
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.

Good luck and have fun!
