cracked window light

blah blah blah whatever.

May 22, 2009

Taken with iPhone camera. Nice window light to camera right.

Part of the May 9 Photographic Art Society of Roswell open studio workshop. Attendees brought some of their favorite pictures, and we set up similar lighting scenarios so that they could learn to light.

Window light

Rolleiflex 2.8E; Planar 80mm lens; Kodak T-Max 400; Epson V800 scanner

Watched a video on posing and wanted to practice with the only willing participant I had.

Ealier in the day. Lots of wedding pictures soon.

Another recent film shot. This one taken with a cheapo Penmax YN-3. Added some texture via CS4. Might have overdone it. Oh well.

Playing with Light in the Bathroom

1/50 @ f/2.8; ISO 100; Aperture Priority; tripod; 100mm lens

Restaurant windows in Jakarta make excellent light sources, and it's free! In a 3/4 profile above, note that the nose does not cut into the cheek. Because the shadow side of the face is facing the camera, called short light, it tends to slim-down a round face. If the light would be falling on the side of the face facing the camera, it would tend to fill out a slim face.
