Lighting Direction Three Point Lighting

Page 27: Introduction to Lighting, Design Elements, & … to Lighting, Design Elements, & Photographic Techniques CUVPHI302A Capture Photographic Images Session 2 of 8 Aaron.Burton@cdu.edu.au

• Hard direct light

• Difficult to soften i.e.

bounce or reflect

• Head-on position has

no shadows - no

volume

• Foreground often

blown out - difficult to

vary flash intensity

• Only use for ‘fill’

Tip: To prevent camera shake set the shutter speed above the focal length of the lens i.e.

use at least 1/500 sec shutter speed with a 300mm lens or 1/60 sec with a 50mm lens

Shutter Speed

• Fast paced sports require at least 1/500 sec for sharp images often 1/1000 or 1/2000 sec

• Slow shutter useful for panning

• Slow shutter for night shoots

• Slower than 1/30 sec will almost certainly result in camera shake - use tripod/monopod

Tip: 1/125 sec a good starting point

Motion

Panning - follow the subject while pressing the shutter so the

subject remains sharp and the background is blurred
