Light and Shadow

Back Lighting-silhouette

To get Katie as the subject and silhouette, I metered on the background, the light blue sky, making katie very dark. This created a silhouette as she flipped her hair in the air. 

Back Lighting-subject lit up

This exhibits back lighting with the subject lit up as I metered on Katie instead of the background, creating a white, very over exposed background. 

Chiaroscuro

Definition of Chiaroscuro: the arrangement or treatment of light and dark parts in a pictorial work of art 

I chose this picture for my chiaroscuro  because of the black and white balance. The focus is on the shadow of the light post and you can see the natural light creating the shadow. 

Shadows as subject

This shows shadows as the subject because of the lighting from behind the subjects, the person and the tree trunk and branches. I chose this one specifically because of the green moss on the concrete, contrasting with the brick. 

Reflections as subject

This is a reflection of a building in another building across the street. The sky was very blue and beautiful on this particular day and you can see this in the reflection. 

Multiple Exposure

HDR & Panorama

I chose to do a HDR with this photo because of the lighting during the day. With the grey sky, some areas were very dark and grey, making it very under exposed and because of the grey sky, it was over exposed The HDR compilation shows the blue sky and white clouds and the inside of the painted walkway can now be seen. 

I chose to take my panorama in the class room because I thought that there was a lot going on and that the identical computers would look interesting if placed at different angles. I decided that it would be a little boring if there was no main subject, or nothing appealing to the eye so I decided to ask Katie to be my model.
