i just like this photo because it makes me smile :)

the whole deal with painting with light :)

My inspiration to submitting this photo is earlier on this week I went up to my teacher and asked her what she thought of my photo. Orginally I was only going to paint my name with light and leave it at that. Then my photography teacher suggested that it would be a cool idea if she saw me in the picture and my name to the side. So I decided to take my techer's advice and do what she suggested.
aperature: 5.6
shutter speed: 30
lens: Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm. 1:3.5-5.6G

studio lighting photo #3

this photo is perfect studio lighting, everything is completely clear and the backround goes well with elena's skin tone. Everything in this photo is clear and there is a perfect amount of contrast. I used the same Aperature and shutter speed as photo #2 but i just moved closure to elena's face to get the close up

studio lighting photo #2

I also like this photo because i believe that this is almost perfect studio lighting. Everything is pretty clear and i also like the contrast. I used and aperature of 3 and a shutter speed of 1/20

photo #1 aperature- 5.6 and shutter speed is 1/10

perfect studio lighting, photo #1

The reason why i like this photo is because, the lighting brings out elena's lips and hair. I also like how it looks like her hair is blended in with the lighting. I decided to do experiment with the lighting in this photo, because i wanted to see how it would look darker. I would call this an experitmental picture.
