Three Point Lighting

After learning about how the different sort of light kits and how they work we had a go ourseles using objects around the room and using the portable lighting kit and a black pice of sugar paper as our background.

The setup we were creating was the 3 point lighting setup as we learned in our previous lesson, we then did a practical exercise testing how we could change the appearance of the image by putting it in different places.

While doing this we used many different setups for the lights so that we could see what it did when we moved the lighting as well as show how when we moved the lights it changed the way the pictures looked. Some of the photos i took i really liked as i thought they were quite professional looking and for my first try using a flash kit i thought they turned out well. Others of my photos though did not look good as the flash was to close or in a place were the camera caught the lights.

Here are some of my photos

This photo was my favourite one i took, i like this because of the background and how it is so dark making the colours from the bottle stand out. To do this i lowered the ISO as well as the aperture.

This was another photo i liked, the reason i liked this is i could see this being used on a website to do with photography due to the way the light shines onto the nikon logo making it a good photo for advertising nikon products. The shadows are also long and produce a very strong effect.
