Assignment 4
Set Two

I wanted to go with a rather difficult subject to photograph. The goal was to challenge myself and learn to use my camera and the controls to its fullest potential. In the first two photos I chose to take them as the sun was just setting over the Adirondacks. I adjusted the WB controls on the camera to cloudy and I also played around with the EV setting so that I could achieve the goal of getting the exact shot I wanted.

 

 

The next shot was when the sun had set and the night had begun to fall. There was still a pinkish color highlighting the mountains. The way the flame reacted with the camera was a challenge. I had to adjust the EV to lighten the tiki torch and played around with the flash. I used the SL flash so that I could get a clearer picture.

 

The final shot was taken in the morning hours. (at about 6:00am) The sky was overcast so I had to adjust the WB setting to cloudy, I also adjusted the EV so that I could get a clear picture of the torch but not have it become over exposed.

 

 

This final one was when I was taking a series of the photos during the night. As I was locked into view I had to fight off the mosquitos and then hit the shutter button and this happened:

 

The light choices that I went with were the natural lighting from the sun, the flame from the tiki torch, and the flash from the camera. I had the outside light on while I was photographing in the later part of the evening but it really didn't effect the way the photo's came out.
