Light

yes, lighting. moving on from The previous photography workshop today we were looking at the impact of light on our photographs. having looked at this last week i felt confident of producing some good photographs utilizing the lighting effects.

today we were using just the one light, a spotlight. this gave us extremly stark photos with a high contrast which isn't

 always flattering.

 We were using a wall backdrop this time and ended up using a shutter speed of 1/200 with 8 Iso which gave us an optimum of 22 aperture. the first couple of photographs came out really well with little motion blur and great colouring. we then tried a couple of effects such as using a long shutter speed and manipulating the 

light. some of the effects came out really nicely. i would have liked to have stayed around a bit longer and worked with the proper lighting equipment rather than just working with a single light. i think it could have been a lot better if we had two. maybe next time.
