View point, angle and crop...

The main idea was to attract more attention by simply photographing the main target from a different point of view. Simple objects that we see everyday, and have no greater visual value to us, might become very interesting. A different viewpoint of the camera angle is an important factor in a good composition. By cropping the photograph we may determine what is important or simply  manipulate it the way that it becomes more attractive for the viewer.

I am a genius. (Soft light)

The door handle of hate.

The light switches look so awesome.

Thats one naughty bastard.

I have no idea what I was thinking here...

Three Dimensional Photography

During this lesson we have been taking photos with a wide angle lens. To achieve the best effect with a dimensional effect, we had to make photographs by focusing on the foreground, midground and background. This kind of photography is mostly used for landscapes and portraits.

The model is in the foreground, the metal container in the midground and the rest far behind in the background.

Same model (foreground and midground only)

The left side of the building in the foreground, the bush in the midground, and the rest in the background.

A part of my room. (Foreground only)

An example of a background photo. Fascinating.

Photography Umbrellas

Photography umbrellas are easy to setup and easy to carry. They are one of the best light modifiers for flash photography. During the lesson we have been experimenting by using different types of umbrella: White translucent umbrella, Silver reflective umbrella, and a Gold studio umbrella. Photography umbrellas are an essential tool for photographing good portraits. During the lesson we tried to experiment with them by positioning and aiming. I found it really easy to set them up, however I still had a few problems with my camera settings. Finally,  I had been oredered to set my defaults on ( F11,  ISO 100, and aperture 1/125). In the end I noticed that the umbrellas added a lot of depth to my models.
