#camera techniques

Taking that videography course has to be the best thing I've ever done. Even though I'm learning live action camera techniques, I can use the same ideas for animation, and its completely changed how I watch anime now.

Which Direction........

Within Studio class we have been looking at headshots of people and the lighting techniques within each portrait. I used frontal lighting in the first image with a beauty dish and reflector to even out the shadows within the face, in the second image I used 45 degree angle lighting with a softbox and decided I wanted the facial features to be harsher and have more shadow and depth to the photo. I used a black and white filter as I felt the lights and darks could pop out. Personally I prefer the black and white photo rather than the colored just because I like the harshness of it.

Winter was Coming.......

Thoughts of Rothko, no2.......

Here are my group shots for Ronnies wednesday class using a mixed of pop up flash from the camera and ambient light. I had tried to do group shots before at the place in the barras called BAAD but it didnt work out well due to the fact the place hadn’t much light in it. So as a group we decided to go to the Winter Gardens at People’s Palace as it is all glass so a lot of light got in which managed to control the intensity of light which I feel balanced the picture out. I used a tripod while taking the picture and used a Nikon Remote so I wouldn’t shake the tripod when taking the picture. I feel using the tripod and the remote really helped the image as I feel everything came out clear, in each image I feel like one persons face is sharp and if zoomed up there is catch light in the eyes. Doing the group shots was quite hard just due to the fact of feeling like mixing light with flash could make the holidays come out like a holiday photo taken on a disposable camera but like I said before I think I managed to control the light in the images.
