Task 8- Photography Notes


Photography Notes

We will use a white backdrop (On the floor, from the roll)

-         If they stand at the back of the backdrop, they might blend into the background.

-         Never have normal lights on

-         All lights are flash (Studio lights)

-         We will use a Trinity Flash head


For the flash-

-         There is an on and off switch

-         Press test (Test the Flash)

-         Music note/sound will beep, when the flash has recharged

-         Minus button (-) starts at 1, for a small soft flash

-         Plus button (+) ends at 6, for a hard flash


3 Point Lighting-

-         Key/main light is the first light that will be positioned on your model

-         Fill light (With the grid)

*Square bits on the flash, is called a soft box*

-         Hair light (With a snoot).

*A snoot is a light mechanism*

(Separates your model from the backdrop)

 3 Point Lighting is noted in ratio, depending on number of flash brightness, (e.g. 4:3:2)


Godox- 

-         Makes sure it’s switched on and off when not in use.

-        You slot this into your flash.

-        The receiver is then connected to the Godox, which you test with the camera.

Camera used-

-        Nikon D7000 which has a 17 Million MP

-        Strap of the camera has to be over the head

-        Lens is 18-105 zoom lens.

-        3.5 LCD

-        Play icon allows you to view your previous taken photo

-        Once you hear a beep from the camera, this means that your picture is focused.

Focuses-

-        Manuel focus- No beep, which means you can control the lens.

-        Auto focus- There is a beep, which means the focus is controlled automatically.

Settings-

-        Key words- Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority

-        Depth of ground = Aperture Priority

-        Movement capture = Shutter Priority (Faster the shutter, quicker and better the image)

To change colour effect, Click Menu            Camera icon           Set Picture Control.

-        Standard = Colour

-        Mono chrome = Black & White

*Do not change colour on Photoshop, as it won’t have the same effect*

Reflectors- Reflect/Bounce light. They come in Silver/Gold/White
