- Hyper Focal Distance
- Ambient Flash
- Mixed lighting sources
- High/low key lighting and exposure
- Long Exposure with a tripod
- Medium/Large format camera
I tried to use some of these examples and apply them to my work. For example I captured an image with a long exposure so I could have movement with a medium format camera. I also have not tried to use hyper focal distance in my images so when I went to the beach I tried to capture an image by sending my lens to infinity but when I captured the image I notice it was blurry and thought that I hadn't done it wrong but I then realized there is a button at the back of the camera where you can change the sharpness of the image when looking through the view finder. Below is an example on me trying to use infinity technique
I tried to use low key lighting so that is brought the dancers outline in the studio. Again this was not as successful as I hoped it to be more dark, although it is under exposed it is not as low key lighting as I aimed for. Below is an example
Below is an image taken using the large format camera. I like using it and feel with after practise my technique will get better. I hope to use it again to capture a long exposed image of a ballet dancer.
I tried to incorporate the use of long exposure using the larger format cameras but the image didn't turn out how I hope it to be. Below is any example. I want to capture her arm so that it looked like she had wings but because it was a white background her arms blended into the background
The image below is an example of mixed lighting. I used a continuous light on one side and the a tungsten light with a blue gel on the other side. This was to test the use of mixed lighting
The only technique that I didn't try was the ambient flash as I have difficulty understand how to create that effect but I would like to try this effect to see whether or not I would find useful.
