Lighting

Edge 

Butterfly

Rembrandt

Yesterday we experimented with different lighting techniques in the photography studio. The three techniques we were attempting were Edge, Butterfly and Rembrandt. The equipment we were using was a Cannon 5d, tripod, white back drop, reflector and our key light source was an umbrella light. We were shooting on aperture 1.7 and the white balance wa. The Edge and Butterfly effects had a really nice outcome but I feel that Rembrandt we should go back over and try to get the triangle under his right eye perfect. I think the reason for the Rembrandt not turning out great was because the lighting weren't perfect. To solve this next time we will take loads of practise shots to ensure the key light is spot on.

Health & Safety

When we were in the studio there was a number of different things we had to be cautious of. First of all there were a lot of wires on the floor from the lights. We also had to make sure no one fell over the legs of the stand the lights were on as they are quite big. The stands for the lights also had to be made secure to make sure they didn't fall over onto anyone. Finally we had to ensure the lamps didn't get to hot or it would burn the paper on the front which could cause a fire.
