We were trying to recreate a Kamehameha blast with the light painting that we learned.

This one is more accurate to a Kamehameha energy ball.

The Z is for Zen, you probably thought of Zorro.

Today in class we took some amazing shots! For the first photo as you can see it has a black background different than the other two photos. The aperture for this photo  was f/18, shutter speed 1/60 with an ISO of 100. Also for this photo i was trying go for a split style. i made sure to light up half of his body. For the other two photos it has a gray background, but this photo it was taken with soft lights. The aperture for these two photos was f/20, shutter speed 1/50 with an ISO of 100

To get the images on the white setup, we used three lights, two umbrella lights at the side and a back light. For the images with the black setup there was two lights being used and I found placing them to the back and sides made the light reflect better with the glass. For the white setup the brand logo on the product was shown better compared to the black setup.

For the first picture it was using the black background and having the low light. Initially I was having trouble with my camera, but once I was able to find the problem I was able to shoot. The first couple of pictures I did not like how there was a line of flash going down through my label so what the professor recommended me to do is move one of the lights more to the side so the reflection would not be so harsh and right in front of the label.

This was the white background I actually wanted to use one of the color gels to switch it up a bit. I feel like it went more with the Pepsi theme. For this particular picture I just used one side with the color gel and the other light I actually turned it off because I was shooting with both lights on and the color barely showed.

This one I used both lights and covered both of them with color gels one with red and the other with blue. I found it pretty cool.

Today we experimented with capturing different object on a white or black background. Additionally, i gained an better understanding of advertisement photography. For example, each photo was taken with the lighting positioned behind the hourglass to give a more appealing highlight to the object.

in our class today our  assignment was to shoot around the school and take some  photos lighting seemed to be our base of topic me and my partner scour the halls searching good places to take pictures with nice temperature and lighting.  I didn’t really change anything in these photos with light room because I like them as is looking natural.

Today in class we were playing with the flashlights and create some crazy effects with it. To create these cool effects with had to play around with the shutter speed. For these two photos we kept the shutter speed less the 15 seconds or else it won’t work. For the first picture the aperture is f/14 and the shutter speed was 10 sec. For the second picture was also with the same settings.

For this picture, my group and I didn’t use flash because we wanted to focus on the colors. The aperture used is 14 the largest. What I love about the picture is the background light and the color of her jacket match and just makes the picture work.

This picture we used the flash 3 times with each movement Vincent made which I found pretty cool because it created the shadow effect. The largest aperture was also used for this picture.

This picture what I love is the background lights, the effect it created and the silhouette. I tried to show my baby bump as much as I can but it didn’t really work out as how I would of liked but its not that bad.

I really enjoyed this in class photo session with the lights.

Today in class we learned how to paint with light and the effect of long exposed shots.To accomplish each shot we adjusted the camera settings to provide  a longer the shutter speed. The shutter for each shot was around 15-20 seconds. The iso was at it lowest which was 100 and the aperture was set to 14.  Additionally, we used flash to add light to the subject face. Due to being in a very dark environment, a flash light was also used to help focus the camera on the subject before taking the picture.
