Assignment Four - Applying Lighting Techniques - Corrections

Following feedback from my tutor and some rethinking about my images, here is my revised selection for Assignment Four:


Colour 1

Colour 1

Shot in the park in strong sunlight; the pink is effectively contrasted against the green with the sun light bringing out the full colour of the geode.









Colour 2

Colour 2

A mixed media shot, using a previously taken photograph as a background scene.  The pink colours on the mountains from the setting sun support the colour of the back of the geode.









Form 1

Form 1

Shot overhead using side lighting from a table lamp to enhance the curved shape of the back of geode.

















Texture 1

Texture 1


Shot using side lighting and black background paper, this image clearly emphasizes the texture of the back of the geode.















Texture 2

Texture 2

Taken in side-lighting from natural window light; this image emphasizes the shiny surface of the flat plane of the geode, helped by the reflections of the lighting that fell on the paper.















Texture 3

Texture 3

Macro shot of the interior of the geode showing the inner crystalline texture; this was achieved using a macro lens and shining a table lamp and a little LED head lamp right into the centre, to bring out the crystals all the way into the back.







Shape 1

Shape 1

Taken using side-lighting from a table lamp, which has picked out the shape of the flat plane of the geode with the side shadow further supporting the concept of shape.









Shape 2

Shape 2

The second shape shot was taken by trying to catch strong rays of natural light coming in through a bedroom window.  This shot was underexposed by four stops and used a very narrow aperture so that only the shape of the tip of the geode was picked out.
