Shallow Depth Of Field

In today's lesson we learnt about shallow depth of field what this is, a subject in focus whilst the background is out of focus giving the object/subject more of an interesting feel towards it. This is simply done by focusing in on the subject. Above are a few images to show this.

Blurred Movement

Blurred movement is an effect where the subject in the photo is completely blurred out and the background is in complete focus in order to achieve this the subject must be moving at a very fast pace.

Photography Lighting

In today's lesson we learnt about soft, hard, clam shell, hard directional and Rim lighting. We put all these lighting's into good use. The pictures above have all been used with soft lighting. By using this light the effect behind it had a softer feel towards it. Whereas the two images below is an example of a rim lighting photography where the camera is focused in on the subject in a dark surrounding where the whole point of the photo is to see the outline around the character.

Photography

As you can see I have commented on another person's blog about their photographic images.

Gel lighting

In today's lesson we were given the opportunity to experiment with gel lighting filters which can have a massive impact on the photo such as having a different feel towards the photo, a change in look and the density of the photo. Variety of different gel colors are available as seen at the examples above. (red, blue, green) combining the colors will create an excellent effects to use whilst taking photographs.  

Light Graffiti

In today's lesson as you can see above we created light graffiti. In order to achieve this we were put into a dark room and used one light pretty simple. A high fps rate (10 to 30 seconds) was used to bring these pictures to life.

Series of images which inspired me that I love

All these photos all have a similar scene to them more like. Each one using a similar prop such as the snapback. The first photo uses as what we can see a lit up cigarette to create that smokey effect around him. The first two photos can be seen as taken in a low dimmed room and most light being focused on the model itself whereas the last picture we can clearly see the model is in a white room and black and white effect has been used to make this photo stand out. These shots tell me that they have been taken in a room. Below I have attempted to recreate the images above the idea of the smoke in the room and coming out of my mouth gives off a relaxed feeling.
