This weeks' assignment was to photograph an object in two different lighting set-ups. This is my cat, photopgraphed in incandescent light in the night, and then in natural (mostly cloudy) light coming in from a window around 7:30pm. By manipulating different settings under low light, the artificial light brings out some rich coloring that is lost in the other setting. The natural light definitely has a cooler look, that's evocative of a very different emotional tone. Interestingly, the shutter was set to 1/5 for both pics. The aperture was 4.8 for the natural light and 5.6 for the artificial light.
I like the richness of color but some frontal or side filtered light might brighten the subject.
ReplyDeleteI really like the close up of your cat. You can see his coloring better I think, I also like that he looks like he is thinking about something :)

Cats are always great subjects....very versatile. It looks like at least three of us have tortoise shells!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great light study too because you could see the "unreal" colors of the un-natural light. The light in the natural one must've been in a south or west window, because it is really good light...
