Shoot 15: Shafts of light













LEARNINGS AND OBSERVATIONS 

In this assignment we were briefed that we were supposed to notice interesting shafts of lights and how the light reflections and refractions can make any random thing a great subject. Here I tried to look at light as it was the main subject and not any materialistic thing. I enjoyed this assignment as I found some really interesting compositions to capture the sunlight.

Shoot 6: Motion Freeze and Motion Blur (At Home)

Image
 MOTION FREEZE      Shutter speed: 1/80       Shutter speed: 1/100      Shutter speed: 1/125      Shutter speed: 1/250      Shutter speed: 1/400 LEARNINGS AND OBSERVATIONS:    I again attempted to capture motion blur and motion freeze with different objects and different movements. While trying to find an activity that would best convey the concept of motion freeze, that was a difficulty that I faced. Also the difficulty that I faced was to create a good composition while also keeping in mind how the exposure will change according to the different shutter speeds and how will I be able to show the difference between lower shutter speed and higher shutter speed.  EXPLORATIONS MOTION BLUR       Shutter speed: 1/30      Shutter speed: 1/20      Shutter speed: 1/10      Shutter speed: 1/4      Shutter speed: 1" ...

Shoot 1: Exploring composition

Shoot 1: Composition  Frame within Frame  Rule of thirds  LEARNINGS and OBSERVATIONS  At the beginning of the class we were first given a brief about what compositions are and what role they play in bringing together a visually appealing frame. We were told to explore two particular types of composition, which were Frame within frame and Rule of Thirds.  So frame within frame composition is not just about capturing a frame where another frame is being created,  but also creating a composition where the chosen subject is being captured through a frame which makes up the entire frame. Using this composition, when the subject is placed in a Frame within the frame which adds depth in the composition and becomes more inclusive of the viewer.  For rule of thirds, the basic rules are that the entire frame is divided into 9 equal sections and ideally we have to place our subject at one of the any 4 intersections of the grid. This composition helps to avoid the...

Shoot 2: Understanding exposure

Exposure  Under exposure:  Normal Exposure:  Over Exposure:  LEARNINGS AND OBSERVATIONS:  For this assignment it was an upgrade to the first shoot where we were told to explore the different levels of exposures but also while practicing the compositions that we explored in the previous assignment.  This particular assignment made me realize that even the slightest change in the exposure creates a whole different mood for the subject and the background and changes the entire vibe of the photo. When we create a photograph in overexposure the details of the highlights become unclear and hazy while creating a photograph which underexposed to light, the shadows have unclear details.  For example shooting a landscape with lowest exposure gives a very somber and a kind of deep and reminiscent vibe of the photo as if the viewer is supposed to feel nostalgia after seeing the photo, but creating the same frame in over exposure gives it a mood of memory which is ...
