Learning Log #9 Outdoor Portraits

To capture these photographs, I first had to adjust the ISO, shutter speed and aperture to go with the amount of light that was available at the time of shooting. At first, the photos were to dark or to bright so it was crucial that the camera settings had to be adjusted accordingly. That being said, the light source was from the sun in the outdoor on a cloudy day so there was no real way to control it aside from positioning reflectors around the model/subject to get some light back into their face. Lastly, we had to go around the given environment which is the playground to found spots to take these photographs. Then the model had to pose in varies ways and the position of where I was taking the photograph had to be changed, too. For example, I would crouch down or try to get a height advantage to get a photograph from a certain angle.
