Motion Studies- Assignment 3

Freeze motion:
This way of capturing motion makes the image feel more captivating than a normal picture since you see the movement of the water droplette in a still image. This picture was achieved with a lot of patience. I had a shutter speed of 1/500 since the water droplette kept looking blurry in the picture with anything slower. It was hard to capture this because it was a cloudy day and bright situations are preferable for freeze motion. This being said, I was able to get a good picture through trial and error.



Blur Motion:
This way of capturing motion makes the image feel more lively and energetic since the blurriness of the umbrella gives you the impression of its movement. I achieved this picture with a shutter speed of 1/8. I had to use such a slow s.p. because the blur motion of the umbrella was not appearing with one that was much faster.


Ghosting:
I achieved this ghosting image by using a shutter speed of 13 seconds. Staying still in the image was a little bit difficult since I was sitting on a swivel chair. I put the image in black and white because I found it added a ghostly feel to the image in addition to the subject (me) being see-through.


Ghosting pt. 2:
I liked ghosting because it is so unique and different from what I have always done in photography. I really love the effect it gives to the subject in photographs. I achieved this image by using a shutter speed of 10 seconds. In the image, one person is standing behind another while they move there arms back and forth up and down. This gives a very interesting effect.

Seeing Light- Assignment 2

Window Light:
-       - I liked working with window light because it gave the subject a naturally beautiful glow. It was very flattering light to shoot with.
-      -  I liked the results I got from this light since there weren’t really any challenges with it.




     Window Light Redo - Portrait of Katie 
Backlit Light:
-       - In order for the picture to be backlit, I made sure that the light behind my subject wasn’t too bright or else the camera would have focused on the background too much. I turned off all the lights in the bathroom and shot only using the natural light coming from behind my subject.


Diffused Light:
-       - The light source in this picture is soft daylight since it was taken outside on a cloudy day.
-       - We know that this is diffused light because there is a very large light source as well as there is a lot of detail in the image. There are also no highlights or shadows which proves the image is shot in diffused light.

-       - This lighting gives a bit of a dull look to the scene, which gives a calm feel to the photo.




Contrasty Light:
-      -  The light source in this picture is the sun.
-       - We know that this is contrasty light because there is the presence of highlights and shadows in this   picture, unlike diffused light.

-      -  This lighting has a dynamic look and feel, as there are highlights and shadows that give a 3D aspect to the image.
