Falcon Photo

This project was very unique. We had to take pictures in front of a completely white background and adjust the camera’s shutter speed and ISO to control how fast the camera lense opened and how much light shown through to the lenses. Later on, we worked on editing the photos to give the illusion of a completely white background that didn’t even look like a background. It was a bit difficult to get the lighting perfect, but using natural light and a dim lamp, the pictures came out great. These are two of my favorite pictures, but you can see the rest of them here. 

In this project, my group and I had to stand in front of a white background, and shine light at the background while somebody takes the pictures. The shutter had to be open for a longer period of time, so that it can absorb a lot of light. The ISO is the sensitivity to light. We had to put it at a higher level to take the pictures. To edit, we had to go to Photoshop and crop out some parts. We also made sure that the background could be at it’s whitest, so that it would look like we were standing in nothing. What worked was when we shined the light on the background, and not on the person. What did not work was if we only shone light on a certain part of the background, which caused the other parts to be darker and look yellow. To see the rest of my photos, click here.

My group and I had to stand in front of a white sheet of paper, and we had to shine a light on the background. It worked when we were shining the light on the background, but it didn’t work when we were shining the light on the person. We also had to try to get the light to shine everywhere instead of just one place. Our shutter speed was open for a longer period of time, because we had to let a lot of light come in. The ISO is the sensitivity to the light. We edited our pictures in Photoshop to make sure our pictures had a background that looked like nothing. You can see the rest of my pictures HERE.
