Painting with Light

This week I practiced painting with light in the dark room using a DSLR camera.

These two photos go together to say "Walk Humbly." I used a bulb shutter speed and an aperture of f25. I shone the white flashlight onto my friend's feet and then wrote the words in with a red flashlight.

I wanted to try painting with light with my favourite colour, purple! I found an all bright purple image on my iPhone and waved it around on a bulb shutter speed with an aperture of f25.

Proper Studio Lighting

Using a DSLR camera, I photographed my friend, Olivia, in three different studio lighting settings. I tried to capture her thoughtful side and her friendly side.

Shutter Speed: 1/25    Aperture: f11

Shutter Speed: 1/10    Aperture: f5.6

Shutter Speed: 1/13    Aperture: f5.6

My Name in Nature

For this assignment, I was supposed to find shapes in nature and in my surroundings that resembled the letters of my name. It was interesting to look at the world in this way. I found myself finding letters in almost everything; where I normally never would have noticed. I ended up finding a good mixture between indoor and and outdoor inspiration and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. It was funny how easy it was to find letters such as H and N and how difficult it was to find letters like B and A.
