Title: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: NewMemories on January 13, 2011, 02:10:04 PM Open shade.
f 5.6 1/125 Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: Sarah on January 14, 2011, 04:39:56 PM Very cute! The only thing I miss in shade like this are catchlights in her eyes. Was there any possible way to have her in the shade but with light in her eyes?
I love this picture, though. :) Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: NewMemories on January 15, 2011, 11:36:03 AM They're there, but they're small. I looked at the original and I can see them.

I can see a little 'sparkle' in her eyes, but maybe you might be able to get an even better one by using a reflector? It is already very nice though, as a parent, I would love it :).
Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: NewMemories on January 24, 2011, 02:48:44 PM I've never used a reflector before, I'm not sure how that would work or not...any suggestions? Tips?
Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: ejb on January 24, 2011, 02:51:07 PM If there is sunlight (or other light that can be 'bounced back' you could place it where you can catch the light and bounce it back into the eyes of your subject, very simple and schematic (as far as possible without a drawing):
lightsource subject / (reflector) Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: NewMemories on January 24, 2011, 02:54:27 PM I see...but since she was in the shade I'm not sure how that would work. I was standing in the shade with her under a huge tree. And would the reflector affect her skin tone or create shadows?
Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: ejb on January 24, 2011, 03:00:24 PM It is not likely to create shadows, since it only reflects light (it doesn't bounce shadows [url=http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280521545073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT]http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280521545073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT[/url]) . If you can not 'catch' any light whatsoever, it's no use bringing a reflector though.
Title: Re: Ch4 Assignment (Manipulating Light) Post by: jworkman on February 05, 2011, 11:34:09 PM Nice composition and colour. The reflector would just brighten her face a bit, but if you don't have someone there working the reflector or a stand it can be a bit tricky. As far as the catch lights go...you can always emphasize them later in post processing?
