Painting with light- Byonantz Hilaire

Focus On Forms- Byonantz Hilaire

During this project, I learned a lot more things about lighting and photographing close objects. I learned that when you shoot an object from too far away it lacks visual impact but when I zoom in or take it more close up it will be more clear and able to catch someone's attention. About lighting, I learned that the image appears bright partly because of what light source you use. For instance, I would sometimes user a lamp or a umbrella as a source of light. I developed the skill to use light better because usually my pictures come out dark. I also need to practice more on making images more in focus and making them to be less blurry.

APERTURE

F. 2.8

F. 11

F. 22

These are my picture examples of small, medium, and large aperture settings. In the first picture, the aperture was large so the picture was darker, and as I made the settings higher, it became more brighter.  I noticed that the first picture was more in focus, the second one started to get out of focus, and the third one was out of focus. I struggled with blurriness of pictures, because that kept happening when I set the aperture to f.22. 

Alternative Self Portraits

The process of taking these pictures went pretty well. I had some difficulties but other than that it was good. For the first picture, I was thinking about using edge lighting. I tried to make sure one side of her face has a dark shade to it and the other side have a light shading to it. For the second picture, I used a lamp to shine the light under her face. 

I was somewhat satisfied with the results of my pictures. I like the second picture better because it has so much unique shading to it. The shades under he eyelids and her nice are displayed nice and also the darkness of the background.

Shutter Speed

1/15

- This photo was take with the lowest shutter

speed. That allowed the movement to appear blurry.

1/60

- This picture appeared less blurry because

the shutter speed was faster.

1/100

- This photo was still blurry a little bit as the 

shutter speed became faster but it was clearer than the first

two. 

1/250

-  This shutter speed was much faster so that made the

picture appear dark.

1/1000

- The shutter speed on this photo is so fast that it made the picture appear dark.

It's much darker than the first four photos.
