Mixed Lighting




The Point of this Project was to take photos with daylight and an artificial source such as a Flashlight, External Flash, Studio Lights, etc.  These photos were all taken with a f5.6 Aperture, 1/250 for the first 2 and 1/1000 for the last one.  I had a fast shutter speed for the last photo because I wanted to capture the water without any motion blur.

For the first picture how I showed mixed lighting by shining a flashlight down at the lock so it reflected off of the metal rung into the camera making it seem it was very shiny.  The composition rules I used were rule of thirds, a simple background and the lines on the door in the background are strait making it visually pleasing.

The second picture I showed mixed lighting by shining the flashlight on the poles connecting the arm holder to the ground making small highlights in the middle.  The flashlights light is not very big but it makes a big difference.  This photo shows composition with lines the far arm holder in the background lines up perpendicular with the poles in the foreground.

The Third picture I showed Mixed Lighting by using the flash on the camera, the ceiling light and the daylight coming through the nearby window.  What i did was take a picture so the camera flash would illuminate the fountain of water.  One thing i like about this picture is the ripples when the water hits the bowl of the fountain.  This photo uses composition by showing rule of thirds.






The Photo above is my Contact sheet which has an assortment of mixed lighting experiments.  I used the flashlight for all these photos and except for the photo of the Canada flag which used the ceiling lights instead.  All the photos except the flag one used f5.6 aperture and 1/200 shutter speed and the flag had a f12 aperture with a 1/200 shutter speed.
