Finally we had an opportunity to work with "studio" photos. Controlled area and lightning. This was really fun. When we were setting up the lights and so on, i realized i had learned some basics about it from the smoke-pictures i had taken earlier in my own room. The background is actually a white wall, but since the the lights in the ceiling are turned off, and we are only putting light on the motive, the background appears to be black :) I got plenty good shots here, but they are kinda boring to look at since it is the same people over and over. Here's some of them tho:
Experimental
We had the task to take som e"experimental" pictures and this was a tricky one. I tried to take some pictures outside. Later, I tried to take a picture of smoke, but could only use my small room at the boarding school. I could only use a purple sheet and a desk lamp. The pictures didn't come out as i wanted them to, but gave me a good idea of how it should work. This experience was good for later when we shot some studio pictures. Here's four of them
2nd chance to take portraits
About a week or two after the first portraits, we got a new chance to try. Point was to learn from previous try and make a better job this time. Still had no clue about how the camera was working. You could say the information went in one ear, and out the other. Not that the photos came out super ugly, but yeah :D Here are a few of them
First time using a system camera
These were the first photos i took at photography class. We were sent out with cameras and our task was to take portraits of our team partner. Can't say i knew anything about the stuff i was doing. I had never even held a system camera before. I just tried to get my motive as sharp as possible, firing off picture after picture and feeling total confusion over the ugly pictures i took. A couple though were decent for a total newbie and these are three of the ones. The background is not total scrub, the light is not too shabby either.
