The sun was beating directly down on this little guy as you can see by the shine of light off his head and shell.

Inside my vehicle Turtle was in the shade and in his shell. It's hard to see any detailson his head or legs.

My boyfriend Richard was goofing around so I decided to put the camera to good use. The sun is behind him in this photo. His shadow is in front of him and pointing directly at me.

Rather than have Rich move I moved to the side His front half look lightless compared to the back of him where all the sun was.

The sun here was to my back and directly in front of Rich... he looks like his eyes are just big black masses due to the shadow and him squinting.
You can definitely see the difference in lighting between the 3 pictures. The first with the big sun patches on his shoulders....and then the last with big black eyes! Great way to show how light affects portrait pics!
ReplyDeleteI like that you used a human subject for your lighting pictures- and that you just experimented with the light you had, rather than trying at different times of the day. Obviously, theres going to be times when you have only one opportunity to take a picture; so knowing how to take it is important!
ReplyDeleteI love the lighting that you have on the turtle it's so unique with all the different colors. I love the lighting too, to show the differences of each shot.
