Lighting under exposure

What is it Found examples

My example before and after

• There is not enough light in the photograph.

• As a result photo appears quite dark and gloomy

• Under exposure makes it difficult to see the subject matter

• A photograph may be described as underexposed when it has a loss of shadow detail

before

after

Page 4: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Lighting Over exposure

• Too much light

• A photograph may be described as overexposed when it has a loss of highlight detail, that is, when important bright parts of an image are washed out or effectively all white

Before

After

Page 5: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Good exposure What is it A found example My example before

and after

•The lights are darks are balanced, creating very good lighting

• Image is clear and good quality

Before

After

Page 6: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Deep focus

What is it found examples My example before and after

•in deep focus the foreground, middle-ground and background are all in focus.

• Deep focus is when everything in the photo graph is in focus, not just specific parts

Page 7: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Composition - leading linesWhat is it found

examplesMy example before and after

• Leading lines are lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image.

• Anything with a definite line can be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye

Lighting – High Key

Description A found example My example

When artificial bright lighting is used to blow out most or all harsh shadows in an image

Source: http://www.ephotozine.com/article/high-key-and-low-key-lighting-tutorial-13881

High key lighting eliminates all shadows

Before

After

Page 9: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Lighting –Low Key

Description A found example My example

There is reduced intensity of lighting as a result there are strong contrasts in the photograph

Source: http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/05/13/black-and-white-photography-what-you-need-to-know-for-perfect-mono-pictures/6/

Contrasts with dark colour creates suspense and mystery

Shallow Focus

Description A found example My example

Part of the photograph is in focus while the rest of it is focused

Source:http://www.luminouslandscape.com/techniques/3_years_later_dslr_video_one_mans_perspective.shtml

Blurred background suggests its unimportant and puts greater emphasis on the woman

Page 11: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Composition – Rule of thirds/Powerpoints

Description A found example My example

An image should be divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines and the important element of the image should be situated at the intersection of these lines

Source: http://digitalphotographylive.com/rule-of-thirds/

Object placed in the centre is the most important

Page 12: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Lighting - FillDescription A found Example Your Examplesame amount of detail typically seen by an eye in average lighting and considered normal. From that baseline of normality using more or less fill will make shadows seem lighter or darker than normal

•Brings more brightness to their face making it look natural•Where there’s a balance between over and underexposure •Fill lighting removes the shadows from the image and replace them with light •This makes the person look more healthier and presentable

•this is an image i took of my glass shoe •i used my normal room light to take the first picture•i then added an extra light to balance the light and remove any shadows to make the picture look better and better quality

Page 13: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Shutter Speed – Fast Description A found Example Your ExampleThe camera's shutter speed, the lens's brightness and the scene’s Luminance together determine the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor

Unfortunately I don’t have a professional camera in order to take an example of my own for a fast shutter speed example.

•A fast shutter would let less light enter the film or the sensor •This enables the camera to take quick pictures where you can see even the small detail such as the examples above•Can see the drops of the water and it would intend to be crisp •However if it was slow you would see the water running instead of drops

Page 14: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Shutter Speed – SlowDescription A found Example Your ExampleThe camera's shutter speed, the lens's brightness and the scene’s Luminance together determine the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor

•A slow shutter would let more light enter the film or the sensor •This enables the camera to take the picture more slower, therefore the background would be blurry while the objet is crisp or the opposite•for example if a water tap is running and the shutter is slow you would see the water running instead of drops

•however i don’t have a specific camera that has a slow shutter •so i tried making the background blurry while the main object is crisp and can see properly compared to the background which is blurry

Page 15: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Transferring photos to computerDescription A found Example Your ExampleWhen your able to view the same photo on a different device. This can be done by using a cable that connects the camera to the computer, or even use a SD card.

•by using an SD card, you can save the images on that SD card an access it wherever the SD card is connected to view the images taken•the cable connects the phone to the laptop to either to transfer the images or just to view them on the laptop

•i took a picture of my SD cards and memory cards which i am able to store my photos and transfer them or view them when inserted in a phone, camera or laptop•i can also view my photos or transfer them to a laptop using a cable that is connected either to a iPad, phone, camera etc to a laptop.

Page 16: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Composition – Changing angle/perspectivesDescription A found Example Your Exampleshooting from unusual angles, getting higher or lower, this would then make the image more interesting and more meaningful for example a baby would normally be small, taking a picture in a specific angle to make the baby looking small

•taking a picture in a weird angle would show the meaning of the picture, for example the Eiffel tower the angle of it shows that it really big •it would make the image look more interesting for example the wedding image

•taking the picture of my glass shoe in a low angle makes my shoe seem bigger •also by taking picture in a low angle of my sisters ready book gives an illusion of bigger and makes it seem theres a lot of books

Page 17: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Lighting - reflecting

Explanation Example images My images Reflecting is another way to diffuse light.

Light is reflected or bounced off another surface (therefore making it less harsh)

Different surfaces/textures/colours/ will reflect light differently.

Camera

Surfaces

ObjectWithout reflector

With reflector

Page 18: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Lighting – shutter speed motion blur

Explanation Example images My images When something blurs because it is in motion.

This means that it is going too fast for the shutter (object is faster than shutter).

Type 1 – objects are crisp, and background is blurry (moving cameras).

Type 2 – objects blurry (object is moving).

Type 1: The person is in motion so they have become so blurred out that they are hardly visible in the shot.

Type 2: When the camera follows the moving person, the background becomes blurred

Page 19: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Transferring photos to computer

Explanation Example images

Using iCloud – an online storage service you can send the image electronically.

SD Card – An SD card holding all your photos can be taken and inserted into a SD slot on your computer /laptop

Social Media – If the image is taken from your phone there are different options to send to your computer.

Facebook, Twitter etc.

Page 20: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Composition - framing

Explanation Example images My images How you frame objects/subject.

Frame using unique angles

Positive space

Negative space

Ensure that the space around objects are appropriate and comfortable for audience.

Page 28: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Brushes - RepairDescription A found Example Your Example- This would

repair anything in a picture, for example it would repair any imperfections

- Such as spots, wrinkles etc

-In this example the repair tool has blended her imperfections (spots) into her skin and now it looks like she doesn’t have any

-I used iPhoto app to repair my image I used this app to all my brushes -I repaired the reflection from the sun on the sea, it almost acts like an elimination brush where it erases it.

Page 29: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Brushes – Red-EyeDescription A found Example Your Example- This would turn

the red eye into black eye

- A red eye would normally happen when the flash is on and taken in a dark place

- Well using a red-eye brush would solve the problem by turning the red eye into a black eye which replaces the pupil

-In this example of the red-eye tool-It would change the red colour into black -As it would change the red colour to the pupil colour which is black

-I used iPhoto app to use the repair tool -And it was very successful-i used my friend taking a picture with Miley Cyrus

Page 30: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Brushes – SaturationDescription A found Example Your Example- Saturation is

when it would tone up the image

- Makes it more warmer

- It also enhances it

-There is another way to do saturation without the brush where the brush just saturates part of the image chosen, whereas in the example above you can pull your finger up and it enhances it -In the second example it would enhance and add a rich effect on the image making it more presentable

-I used iPhoto app to use the saturation tool-By doing this it made me more tan and made me look more healthy with the saturation effect

Page 31: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Brushes – DesaturationDescription A found Example Your Example- Desaturation is

when it removes the colour in an image and changes it to black and white

-In the second example they used the desaturation to make it seem more gloomy and darker just by using the saturation effect-In the first example they used desaturation to give it an old like image

-I used iPhoto app to use the desaturation tool-It turned my image to black and white and it removes the colour from my image, you can chose how much desaturation you want it, can be either completely black and white or can have a little colour peaking through

Page 32: Assignment 31: photography research & practice

Brushes

Example Explanation

The lighten brush makes the picture look a lot more glowing and makes it more clear to see.

The darken brush makes the picture look a lot more dimmer.

The sharpen brush gives the picture a lot more definition as you can really see the extra texture in the subject

The soften brush makes the picture look a lot more soft
