USING SPEED LIGHT (FLASH)

FLASH

My Professor discuss about using flash in photography. They watch a video about the discussion about the different lights such as:

= Photoflood- It is very hot. (2900k)

= Halogen

= LED- Expensive but durable. 

= Fluorescent

= Speed light

= Studio strobe

Meaning of TTL and ETTL:

TTL (through-the-lens)- metering is a feature of cameras whereby light levels are measured through the lens that captures the picture, as opposed to a separate metering window.

E-TTL (evaluate through-the-lens)- for CANON users only.

I know the different angle of light (Direction of light) such as:

= Front Light

= Back Light

= Top Light

= Side Light

= Rim Light

Modeling Light- mix of light to the model.

I know some basic tools for flash in Photography:

Hot shoe

 Soft Box

Light stand

Light Bouncer

Reflector

Flash Trigger

I know how to clean CAMERA :)

That's All :D

Reciprocal Rule in Photography

What is reciprocal rule? (Reciprocity)- It is a law of a relationship between aperture and shutter. It stipulates that one stop increases in aperture is equivalent to the shutter duration doubling. Both increase light by one stop.

It allows to retain the same exposure or to balance but change either the shutter speed or aperture. When you use this rule, twice and much light coming in for half the time is equal to the same amount of light.

This is my activity to shoot an image and they need to use reciprocal.

Base: 

Aperture    Shutter speed    ISO 

F8             1/125               400

Reciprocal:

                               Aperture    Shutter speed   ISO                              

                            F6.3          1/200              400                          

Reciprocal:

                               Aperture    Shutter speed   ISO                              

         F10           1/80                400       

As you can see, the three images above are same but different exposure :)

Sometimes it's confusing because you need to know and to familiarize the exposure and a little bit of mathematics hahaha :)

BOKEH Photography

BOKEH (Japanese for blur)

-It has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". It is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image. (wikipedia)

This is my photos that I shoot even though I have no idea to make this but I'm so happy that I do it better and it is fun doing this :)

Food Photography

My Professor discuss and teach us the tips about food photography to get such great result and to get more attractive and nice photo.

In the picture below, this is my photo that I shoot.
-ISO 100
-Aperture- 13
-Shutter speed- 0"6
-Lens- 70- 200 mm
-I use a tripod

VIDEO ( Basic Shots)

My Professor teach us the proper way to make a video and the basic shots such as Extreme long shot, Medium Close-shot, Long shot/ Full, Extreme Close- up, Medium shot, Cut-in and Close up.

The meaning of Jello effect
-  appears when the camera is vibrating, in situations such as hand-held shots at telephoto settings, or when shooting from a moving vehicle. The rolling shutter causes the image to wobble unnaturally.

Camera Movement:
Pan
Track
Dolly
Zoom
Tilt
Point of View
Dolly, Zoom out

Camera Angle:
Eye-level
Low-angle
High Angle
Overhead shot
Undershot

Variation:
Tight
Medium
Wide

Conversation:
Over the head
Over the shoulder
Face to face
Two shot

Composition:
Pyramid
Rule of thirds
Golden section
Symmetry
and etc.

Photography is FUN!

My Professor said that " It is easily to SHOOT/ CAPTURE but it is difficult to PREPARE!" In this subject, I learned a lot because I learned how to use DSLR camera and I know the basics in photography like the shutter speed, aperture and the ISO, the lighting patters, how to edit the settings in the camera and so on. Photography is FUN! CAPTURED, CAPTURED, CAPTURED! :)
In the picture below, this is what I pictured:
