I've got some very different textures here, we've got some that are translucent of the
wine bottle, we've got something delicate in the shape of the flower and something with
real texture and form to it in the shape of the stones.
What we're gonna do is the same as we did with Debs, just try it in different lights.
So,
direct sunlight the sun's coming in over my shoulder this is the classical what
they always say, to do with your lighting but to be honest I don't think it works at all well
with this, but bit windy.
There we go, you can see straight away in that shot,
that light really is much much too harsh for the flower, for all of it.
Let's see what happens when we put the light behind it.
So come over to your arrangement, and turn it round. I bet you my stones fall over.
I'll go gently, here we go, here we go.
Let's try and do it before the sun goes in.
Let's try it before the sun goes in. So it's the same arrangement,
in the same place, all I'm doing is
photographing against the light. Let's see what happens this time.
Just move back a bit. Quick before the sun goes in.
Stones fallen off, and I think we just got there.
Here we go, and again the sun comes out again. You can see straight away there's a
much nicer light in the wine bottle
and also there's a much better texture on the flower and the stones despite the fact the
wind managed to blow one of them over.
so the next thing we should do is to try it
in the shade, so we're gonna move the whole little thing
into the shade here. Right here we go
stones, now then we got the same thing
and it's in the shade so let's see what that looks like
but this time we've got light behind because the suns over there, so we've got a bright area
behind but the main lighting
is shade. Take the shot.
And that really is quite a nice soft sort of
an even light, but there's not much form or texture to it, it's not as good as
the back light.
Let's go around the corner and put it into one of the arch ways and see what happens in
there.
So we've now come around the corner to our friendly arch where Deb was earlier.
All I've done is put the arrangement just inside the arch,
again get down repeat the shot and just take it again.
You may notice that by using a long lens with a wide aperture
it doesn't really matter what the background is.
Now that's quite a nice shape and form and texture
in fact that light is really subtle
is not so good on the wine bottle and the rocks are okay but a little bit dull
let's see what happens if its only lead this can move it somewhere else
up in the game staying there
good do with a blue blue TAC I now we're going to the side like the misses a soft
gentle side like this is my having the Sun smack into it
by placing them here with this great big arch this art is acting like a gigantic
softbox
glowing light in from here in that direction
another is like coming in the other end table the predominant lights from they
said matts gonna be softening it
to let's have a look let's see what it looks like from here
its lineup short and
you'll there we go
now the first thing you notice is this lovely soft directional light he's
fantastic on the flowers bring up all the shape and form and texture
that beautiful flower something a banjo on the stones in the wine bottles okay
but not as good as when he was back let one last thing we would have a go at
up 2010 attempt to do now
is strong light from two different directions and get some backlight to get
the one bottle to come alive so
we got the altar for this side tons and tons like coming in but then we got this
little art show over here
which is blowing a bit ally in from behind at the same time
200 Lee will get a bit back lighting on the bottle and the nice soft supple so
the side lighting coming through on the flowers in the stands
let's see what happens again this is always fermentation this is stuff that
you gunplay with
two hearts content you see what you can come up with
because when you compare you will be so
delighted no his own sold
and yeah let's work quite well you can see there's a veteran like going on
around the back to the bottle and
the translucency the flowers come out and there's a lovely little bright
sparkly highlight down the side at this time
witches were brought out the shape and texture as you flip back and look
through all the pictures we've just I can one after the other
you can see they're all very subtly different one from the next
we haven't changed the subject we've done is change how the subject is lit by
moving around and finding out what it looks like in different pools apply
but you can see this stuff is really some very simple
get how they give this a go for yourself as you gain experience and knowledge or
understand what works in wall light so if you know the lights wrong for portray
he wouldn't run shooting a gun look for something else
get an egg on give it a bash you love it
