Practice


 
High key
I set out to take a picture of this model in  a high key format. I wanted this photo to be 
quite light and nice as it brightens the mood.
High key
In this photo i wanted the whole face to light up and use the high key format. I had problems with the flash so it didn't work so it didn't work how i would of liked it. I didn't like the fact that the flash didn't work but i think it would have looked really good if it did work.

Low key
I set out to take a picture of this model in a low key format. I wanted this photo to be dark a mysterious, also to give a dark feeling.

Camera Shake
With this I set the shutter speed to 1/30 and took a picture while I was shaking the camera.  
Movement appears as blurring of the image. Subject movement will only affect the part or parts that actually move during exposure while camera shake will affect the whole image to the same degree. Yes this is successful because it is blurred. I do like it but I think I prefer the one where it is less blurred with a little shake.

Abstract Motion Blur
With these two photos i took a picture of someone indoors while I zoomed the lens while i pressed the shutter.
 
I took a photo of someone but while taking the picture I turned the camera around.
With these photos i was taking a picture of someone whilst shaking the camera while taking the photo. 
With this photo I took the photo while i was turning the camera and zooming at the same time. 
Using motion blur as a technique for creative photography can be a very satisfying pursuit, allowing abstract fine-art compositions to be created in-camera, needing little in the way of (boring!) time in front of the computer to achieve really striking results. The technique also benefits from being quite straightforward, achievable with most cameras, and also in most choices of location. I think most of the photos where successful but some didn't turn out too well. I did like them as a photo because they look really interesting.  But I think the only one I would use is the technique of zooming in while I press the shutter.

Light Writing and Painting

I had to produce a selection of light drawings and paintings and this is what I came out with. Light painting results when a hand-held light source, usually a flashlight of some type, is used in a dark room or outdoors at night to illuminate a subject. When you make a light painting, your camera's on a tripod with its shutter open for a timed exposure while you walk around and illuminate parts of the scene or subject with the light.


These are my photos from the studio i was experimenting with the lights and paint and I really like the effect that it gives. I think next time I could place the light in a better place but apart from that im very happy with these photos.
