Unit 33 Primary research analysis

The technique I used for this image is called window lighting, I created this by getting my subject to stand within range of a window that had light coming through it. What I like about this image is the white lighting on their face from the early morning. Not only that but the expression of the subjects face, his posture and that he is the only thing in focus. 

Although what I dislike about this image is how I not only framed it but the location I shot in this in because of how the light washes out the background but if I was to take this photo again I would've framed it better preferably by using a tripod and I would use a different location to shoot in.
This is my second image which the technique again is window lighting except this photo is landscape instead of portrait. I like this photo because of my subjects expression and the lighting on his face. Although I dislike again how the image is washed out because of the background light. If I was to shoot this again I would use a different location, a tripod and I would improve my shots composition.

In my third image I used a technique called telephoto, for this you either need your kit lens to be on it's longest focal length or even better you can use a telephoto lens on its longest focal length. For my image I used a telephoto lens which seemed to work out best rather than using my kit lens. 

What I like about this image is that my two subjects are in focus and the rest of the background is not, I also like the lighting of this image because it is highlighted on both of my subjects faces. What I dislike about this photo is that the framing could've been better. If I was to take this picture again I would have used a tripod.
My fourth image is again telephoto and again I did use my telephoto lens, what I like about this image is that it captures my subject in motion but because I did not have a tripod this meant that I clearly would have camera shake as you can see, another thing I dislike about this image is that the focus is more on the tree than my actual subject.

 The technique I used for my fifth image is called wide angle, to create a wide angle shot you must have your lens on it's shortest focal length in order to capture all of your scene and subject. To furthermore create this effect you must get close to your subject and point downwards a little to make the distortion better. I like this image because of the lighting on my subjects face and that my subject looks smaller than she actually is.

 Although what I dislike about this image is that the framing could've been better by making my subject go more to the left so that she would have been in the centre of the two bike racks. If I were to shoot this image again I would've gone a little further back and moved my subject more to the left. 

 For my sixth image I used wide angle again, I like this image a lot because my subject is perfectly in focus, the lighting because it is highlighting my subjects entire face and that you can see his torso and not just his head and shoulders. What I dislike about this image is the location of it, if I was to shoot this again I would've used a better location because the background of this photo looks quite bland and boring.


In this image I used a technique called differential focus, I created this effect by using a longer focal length and a wider aperture. Once I focused in on my subject the image only had that subject in focus and the rest of the background out of focus, this is because when using a longer focal length combined with a wider aperture this creates a shallow depth of field.

What I like about this image is the expression of my subjects face and the scene. What I dislike about this image is that my subject is entirely the only thing in focus, the lighting and that the framing.

If i was to shoot this image again I would get closer to my subject, focus entirely on him, frame it better by using a tripod and change the positioning of where my subject stands so that the light doesn't wash out him and the background out.

This final image is also differential focus, I like this photo because the background looks so nice and colourful. Although what I dislike is that my framing isn't entirely straight and my subject is not in focus. If I was to shoot this picture again I would focus on my subject better, use a tripod to frame it better and reduce camera shake.

Unit 25 Final evaluation

Final evaluation For our first task, we had to research studio food photographers in order to take some techniques and learn about studio food photography more. I researched three photographers called Marcus Nilsson, David Munns and Matt Armendariz. What I got from all of those photographers were that simplicity in your photos is the best way to go about it. The next task was primary research where we had to go out and take pictures of food. I chose to go to the Oastler market to take pictures of fruit and vegetables. For this next task, we had to research the two different lighting types which were high key and low key. When researching these lighting types I found that using high key would be a better choice when taking food photographs because it looks like a window like. However, if you wanted a more dramatic effect with your images then you would use low key lighting. This follows into the next task which is studio lighting attachments. This is where we looked up different ligh...

Unit 25 Exposure meters

Image
Exposure meters  An exposure meter is a device that is used to measure the amount of light to determine a proper exposure. The earliest light meters were called extinction meters and they contained a numbered or lettered row that has natural density filters. This means that when the photographer would meter his subject the filter with the greatest density would still allow incident light to pass through. The letter or number (whatever type of row that you had) would correspond to the filter and this was used as an index into a chart of aperture and shutter speed combinations for a given film speed aka ISO. The only bad thing that occurred with the extinction meters was that they were heavily dependent on the light sensitivity of the human eye, this was bad because this can vary person to person. There are two general types of light meters which are reflected light and incident light. Reflected light meters measure the light that is reflected by the scene to be photographed....
