Goldilocks task

In this task we were asked to use exposure compensation, where we worked out the correct exposure for the background (shot 1)
Then using an on camera flash over expose the subject (shot 2) to do this i set my flash to 1/1
Then using an on camera flash under expose the subject (shot 3) to do this i set my flash to around abouts its lowest power - with some adjustments to suit the location
Then using an on camera flash correctly expose the subject (shot 4) to do this i set my flash to around abouts its middle power - with some adjustments to suit the location

We had to do this task both outside and inside

The following shots were photographed at...
Shutter Speed 1/125
F. 4.5
ISO 100
Focal Length 50mm
Shot one, exposing the background with on camera flash

Shot Two, Over exposing the subject with on camera flash


Shot Three, Under exposing the subject with on camera flash,
because the subject did not have direct sunlight behind them, i had to stop down to get this result,
therefor we lost detail in the background therefore we moved to another outdoor location
but finished the correctly exposed shot first



Shot Four, Correctly exposing the subject with on camera flash


The following shots were photographed at...
Shutter Speed 1/125
F. 13
ISO 100
Focal Length 50mm


Shot One, Exposing for the background


Shot Two, Over Exposing the subject with on camera flash


Shot Three, Under Exposing the subject with on camera flash

I have just bought my speedlight triggers...
impact power sync
so with my flash, another flash and way to many helpers we played around with off camera flash, and the shadows and moods we could create.



One flash to camera left

one flash behind with one in front (with the power too high) 


one flash behind to get rim light around models head, with the flash in front turned down


one flash behind to get rim light around models head, and one flash in front pointing towards models... creates very un flattering shadows around the nose


A funny one for Joel


Another funny one for joel...

Homework task,

Take a photo of a sunrise or sunset and compensate the foreground and background with front flash fill.


I took this photo a while ago, with my speedlight on camera, and have put this up for the moment until i can get a more recent shot.
Although this shot matches the description, i exposed for the background and added in fill for the wood post...
