Unit 1 Systems and Processes - Studio Practice 2 - Natural Light

Photography Practice

Wednesday 14th Oct

Natural lighting in the Studio

This lesson was looking at natural light and what changes can be made.

This Photograph was taken with a canon 40d, ISO of 400 F-stop 4.5 and the white balance was on daylight. There was a window to his left and that is why to the left of his face is brighter than the other.

This photograph was taken in the same place with the same natural light and taken with a canon 40d, iso of 800, F-stop of 5.6 and white balance is Tungsten Light. Changing they settings makes the photograph blue, Everything else is the same.

Again same camera and settings but this time with a white foam board to the right of him. I think when using I white foam board gives the photograph more detail.

This photograph is the same as above but only this time I have changed the back white balance to Tungsten light again. The reason for me to do this is to get a idea of how white balance works and to see the outcome of the picture once taken. Also this photograph has the white foam board to his right.

Here again is a photograph of a student but this time he has moved position and has his back facing the window. My camera settings are 800 ISO with a f-stop of 5.6 and my white balance is at daylight.

This photograph was taken with two foam boards in front of him. You can see it is darker than the one above. The reason why its darker than the other one is the natural light is hitting the foam boards and bouncing back.
ISO 800, F-stop of 5.6 on a canon 40d

Here is another photograph of the student but this time

 in a studio. Above him is a flourescent light and has 5000k of power.

This is the same photograph as the one above but the difference is the  fluorescent light is below him.
