Week 6 Flash
In Class Exercise
1. Bounce Flash: Pointing the Flash straight up at the roof, side wall, and behind.
Shutter Speed 0.4 Fstop 7.1 ISO 100
Before and After
I love this image so much. I took this image with the flash pointed up at the roof. I also took this image hand held surprisingly, especially with the clarity of the image with the shutter speed being so slow. As you can see in this Image the lighting is coming down from the roof especially on the side walls and a bit in the middle of the door frame, showing the lighting is coming from above. I edited this image in Photoshop RAW by. Cropping the Image in the basic panel and then going to the Lens Correct Panel to straighten the image. I then went back to the basics panel and took the Contrast Down to darken the image slightly and took the Clarity down to more detail, and I love the result.
Shutter Speed 1/13 Fstop 16.0 ISO 100
Before and After
This image was taken with the flash pointed towards the left side wall as you can see more in the none edited version of the image. When I was taking these images I was having issues with the settings on the camera so the original image came out quite under exposed. As you can see this image got quite a bit more of a dramatic edit than the first image. In Photoshop RAW I went to the lens correct panel to straighten the Image, I then went to the basic's panel and took the Clarity, Vibrance and Exposure up for more detail and colour and took the Contrast and Highlights down, I then went to the detail panel and took the Luminance Up as well.
Shutter Speed 1/13 Fstop 16.0 ISO 100
Before and After
This Image was taken with the flash facing behind me, as you can see with the light in the unedited version being quite dim but still fully around the image excluding the middle half. In Photoshop RAW I went to the Basics Panel and cropped the Image, I then went to the Lens Correct Panel and straightened the image before going back to the basics panel and taking then Exposure Up and Contrast and Highlights Down.
2. Diffuse Flash using a half moon.
Shutter Speed 1/30 Fstop 16.0 ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/30 Fstop 16.0 ISO 100
These are my images taken with and without the Half Moon. One thing I noticed while taking these images is that with the half moon you couldn't see the flash in the reflection and without it you could. I also noticed that the images taken without the half moon were darker images compared to the images with the half moon, I'm not entirely sure if that what was meant to happen BUT that's how they turned out on my camera.
3. Under exposed Background
Shutter Speed 1/13 Fstop 16.0 ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/200 Fstop 16.0 ISO 100
The top image was taken without changing any settings on my camera. The bottom image I made under exposed by taking my shutter speed up to 1/200. I tried to keep "Caryline" properly exposed but had issues doing so. This image was the best image I got.
4. Flash and Blur.
Shutter Speed 1" Fstop 8.0 ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1" Fstop 8.0 ISO 100
I had a lot of issues doing these images in the studio as I had trouble getting the blur effect, most of my images turned out like the top image with just a tiny bit of blur from "Caryline's" Hands and face. The Bottom image was the first and only image I got with full body blur. To get this image I put my shutter speed on 1" and set to Rear sync Flash.
Self Directed Task
1. Bounce Flash: Pointing the Flash up at the roof, side wall, and behind.
Shutter Speed 1/6 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
This is my self directed image with the flash pointed up at the roof. I actually really like the lighting in this image. I like how it slowly gets darker the further down the image you go. I took the Contrast and Vibrance up in the image in Photoshop RAW.
Shutter Speed 1/6 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
I really like this Image. This image was taken with the flash pointed towards the left side wall. You can see in the image that the top and bottom of the image is darker than the middle. I cropped this image in Photoshop RAW.
Shutter Speed 1/6 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
I took this Image with the Flash pointing behind me. I had to change the angle in which I took the image because there was a window behind me and I didn't want the flash to reflect of the window, so I changed the angle to avoid window reflection. As you can tell in this image it is a lot darker than the other two images because no flash is being use or bouncing of anything near the front of the image.
2. Do the same Images at Night.
Shutter Speed 1/25 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
I love my sister's face in this Image lol. I took this image at night with the flash pointed up at the roof. As you can tell from the Lighting getting darker as it goes down. I cropped this Image in Photoshop RAW.
Shutter Speed 1/25 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
I took this Image with the flash pointed towards the right side wall and told my sister when I was about to take the image so she didn't get surprised by the flash like she did in the first image LOL.
Shutter Speed 1/25 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
I took this image with the flash pointed behind me and as you can see the image is a lot darker but still lit up from the flash bouncing of the wall behind me.
3. Under Exposed Background.
Shutter Speed 1/25 Fstop 11.0 ISO 100
I kinda did this backwards just to see how it'd turn out. I took this from inside the house which was darker than outside. The first image I took the outside was over exposed with the darkness from inside. So I pointed the camera outside and changed the shutter speed, then pointed the camera back at my sister and this is how it turned out, kinda looks like a really bad photoshop LOL. The lighting on my sister stayed pretty much the same as it was. I was going through my camera deleting images I didn't need anymore and accidentally deleted the image I took before this one so no longer have a before and after to show you.
