Deer skull, This is my first time painting with light, i choose this deer skull as the first item i would photograph because of the shape i knew that i could experiment with highlighting each antler in a particular way that couldn't be achieved without the use of (painting with light). I used a white torch to highlight each part of the composition although with later judgement i realized i should've used a more natural colour of light as this would help to create more warmth, during the editing process i selected 15 layers to create this final image although i found myself cutting this number down to 10 as i found the white light to be too harsh.

like the first painting with light I used a grandfather clock found at home and shot different angles of it and liked having the two different ones as finals. loaded layers in photoshop and edited it the same way. the camera settings was ISO 100 F11 and shutter on 4"

This is also one of my favourite images to take this is due to their just being loud music in the class and the paint was vibrating differently all the time, we noticed that some moral music dent really do anything so we found out that we had to add the word "bass boosted" then we had all differ types of music, some were led and some were quite but a lot of bass, This effect was made by the song Godzilla by Eminem.

This is one of my favourite images that I took for the unseen project, this is due to the image looking really good and the whole process of the image was quite fun, one thing that I really like about this image Is that it looks like a glass bowl but its a water droplet, I also really lie the colours in the image because it doesn't look like water it kinda looks like Coca Cola.

In this shoot I placed the light to the left of the objects before I had the light at the right and it made the green skin of the courgette/cucumber black (I lost these images due to SD card problems so I cannot show). This isn't what I wanted so I decided to switch it over to the side where the skin is more visible (the left side) I also put the light a whole lot closer to the objects so again it looked less dull. There came a problem from this, where the food had been cut open to see the inside was looking dark so I took a piece of white paper to use as a reflector. This bounced some of the light back into the object and brightened up the side that was looking a little dark.

this is my final shoot for painting with light. In this shoot I sued Aperture f/25, ISO 100 and shutter speed of 5 seconds. When editing I took the darkest image first and worked on top of that each layer was a different image I wanted to incorporate into the final product, I used white and black masks depending on how much/little I wanted to use of that image, I change the photo from normal to lighten to show only the brighter parts of the image this took out a lot of unwanted dark areas that I would've have to take away anyway with the mask. I used different opacity brushes if I wanted to take out any light trails or unwanted parts I would use the opacity at 100% but if I wanted to have more control and slowly introduce/remove apart of the image I would put my opacity from 10%-50%.

This was also Macro photography it was the same set up as the unseen project 3 but it was an artificial lime. The camera settings was set at AP (Aperture Priority). ISO was at 100 and the shutter speed was pre set at 1/125s

This was the task named "Fruit Speed Flash' I set up bringing in some larger fruits such as an apple and a tangerine. I found larger fruits being dropped from a higher height to be more effective rather than from a shorter distance. The camera setting that I had on to capture the apple in a quick setting was I had the camera in continuous shooting rather than single. The ISO was turned up to 800, Aperture was set at f16 and shutter speed the highest 1/180 as due to the off camera flash.

flash 1/128

f5/6 1/125 ISO 200

Chose to do on the darker background rather than the white as the white was set up for paint. The problem was you get one chance before you have to clean the tank and re start, which is time consuming. I wanted to utilize my time well so I bought fruit in so I could try numerous times to perfect. Honestly I took loads of images probable only happy with one IMG_8925
