I don't know how to “High Key” ...

 

The Daily Shoot assignment for 2010/06/28 is: Go high key today. Make a photograph that's all bright tones or dominated by white.

 

Topic: Go high key today. Make a photograph that's all bright tones or dominated by white.

 

More difficult than I thought.

 

Strobist info: two flashes below the subject, camera left and right, each at 1/16th power, manual zoom to 24mm, bare, pointing up and toward the center (more or less). Triggered by the camera built-in controller (non-contributing)

Had to do some studying about high key photography today. Technically, seems very complicated to me but it's great to become at least vaguely aware of all these fine ideas. I realize that the glass and the background are too grey, the shadows on the plate are too prominent, and the light from the window in the top right corner looks unreal. I think I should have had something black in the picture, too.

Even though Clyde's a low key kind of guy he still looks handsome in high key. He very conveniently set up shop in a patch of sun in one of the flower beds this morning. I exposed for the dark areas, let the midtones and highlights blow out and then converted the photo to black and white. I left a tiny bit of colour in his eyes. I'm not ecstatic about the result, but I enjoyed trying something new.

I got this camera before I hit my teens and can't believe it still works. Time to get some film! Wish I could find all my old Polaroid photos to see what they look like.

Browsing white quotes - it's here only as one word included, quite hitting for many currently actual themes though, I think:

 

“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.”

This picture has probably been done a 1000 times, but it just seemed like a good subject to me for today's assignment. I've always like the slightly run-down appearance of The Colonnades at UVa.

The view from my desk seemed fitting for today's Daily Shoot assignment. I should've shot it a bit earlier in the day though, would've been brighter I think.

This was the assignment from hell given the day's other commitments, namely getting my daughter off to her camp staff training week in the Catskills. The only time I had a natural high key lighting situation was while driving in a torrential downpour after drop-off, wondering how her tent was holding up.

 

Gorgeous countryside, but not exactly the soft light I needed for a good raw image to work with, and I wanted to do this with as little post-processing cheating as possible. That went well. ;) I'm choosing this one mainly because the original exposure was as close to my understanding of "high key" as anything I could shoot this morning/afternoon aside from some very bad shots from a moving car in a rainstorm.

This is the version I should have waited for, though I'm still frustrated and maybe it will be enough to push me to do a more classic, formal high key setup, if not today then sometime soon.

Rainy day today, so our group didn't tee off. Looks like it might clear for the afternoon, but even if I did go out, these shoes will wait for a nicer day to be worn for the first time.

Runner up for Daily Shoot #225. Converted to monochrome, which seemed like cheating.

Some coffee mugs at work (and a bit of somebody's lunch)

 

Not exactly how I'd pictured it, but only having a 30 minute lunch break kind of restricts my choices. meh.

I was having a tough time with this assignment, then my lil man took a powder-puff to his face and hair and asked "Will this work Mom?" Of course honey!

New camera yesterday! I didn't arrive until the wee hours of the morning, so this dailyshoot was actually taken today - but I had to make something about the new camera fit the theme!

Fire Bell, I hope it makes a lot of noise.

 

For @dailyshoot #ds225

SB600 at 50mm spread, pointing upwards at the cup. Camera was positioned on the toilet where the lens cap is, with a Stofen Omni-Bounce covering the popup flash.

 

And no, that is not my usual bathroom reading in the shot :)

Had no idea for today's photo, so I kept postponing it until I had to just make the first shot that came into my mind. The result is accordingly.

 

What I hate even more is that I put myself in a position where I don't have the time (I really should be sleeping now) to comment on all the great photos that I come across.

 

Strobo: sb600 (14mm, ttl +2ev) into softbox beneath the subject. On camera flash (ttl +0,7ev) as fill.

I realize I totally missed the assignment...after posting, I thought I should really look up "high key"!

Not sure that it is really high key - but the closest I have come since the challenge.

Creepy - the mosquitoes have been gathering on the window at dusk. What you can't see is the swarm in the air just past the window. I am not going out! What a shame - the weather is fantastic.

2010/365 - Day 179

Go high key today. Make a photograph that's all bright tones or dominated by white.

 

PS: I didn't have too much time today, and I wanted to use daylight for the shot. I ended up crossing a railroad overpass, and shooting through the bridge iron mesh (used as to not let people jump over) and overexposing the take.

 

Little posprocessing since the overexposing was done while shooting. Converted to black and white and cropped.
