PHOTO 5

Objective 3: composition techniques

3. Fill the Frame: the fill the frame aspect in this photo is the bowl, taking up more than 90% of the picture. The bowl was a big part of my photo because it added depth and brought the picture together and followed towards the apples, the main point in this photo. The bowl also created the shadows that I needed to add fill light along with some kept shadows in the photo.

6. Pattern: the pattern is an obvious element in this photo, the colour and lineup of the apples. The reason for this is for the main focus and attraction of the eye to the apples. When I or anyone else looks at this photo we will run our eyes across the line of the apples. The shadowy crevices between each apple add to depth and stay consistent through pattern as well. The other pattern in this photo would be the stems on the top of each apple. This pattern helps to look focus, and help add multiple colours with the vibrance.

Objective 4: lighting

The examples of lighting include fill lighting, side lighting, and hard lighting. Fill lighting is present by adding a reflector and filling the, or most of the shadows. The advantage of having this type of lighting and why I choose to add this to the photo solely because it reduces the harsh light of the photo but keeps it bright. It helps with glare, contrast, and AWB settings too. The second example is side lighting, which is the chandelier light originating from the south left side of the photo hitting the left angle on the apples and bowl. This contributes to the photo by adding a sheen on the apples and also adding a shadow from the apples on the bowl. This is a benefit because it provides extra depth and layers for the whole photo. The last example is hard lighting. This exists because the light, the chandelier bulbs, have not been blocked or tampered with before hitting the object. This helps fortify the image by lighting up the photo, but since the light is artificial, or man-made, it is not too bright to the sensitivity of the lens or the eye while looking at this photo.

Objective 7: photographic styles:

The photographic style is food photography. All of the settings when the photo were taken are: taken in AV mode, an F stop of 5.6, a shutter speed of 1/10, an ISO of 1600, no tampered exposure compensation, so AWB mode, and a focal length of twenty five millimeters. The reason I took it in AV mode is so I could have full control in adjustments and further on later in post-production. I took it with the lowest possible ISO one with 1600, and AWB exposure because there was no reason to alter the white levels. A F stop of 5.6 to slightly blur the background and a shutter speed of 1/10 to take into account of the 1600 ISO and the 5.6 f stop. The overall reason why I choose this specific photographic style was to try something new and see if I enjoyed or was good at food photography.
