What does reflecting light mean?

• Reflection is defined as the bouncing back of a ray of light into the same medium, when it strikes a surface.

• It occurs on almost all surfaces - some reflect a major fraction of the incident light.

• Others reflect only a part of it, while absorb the rest.

A found example

Without Reflector With Reflector

• There is a dark shadow on her neck caused by her chin.

• There is much more light on the neck now because its being reflected.

A found example

Without Reflector With Reflector

• The colour of her top is much darker due to lack of light.• With a reflector the top becomes lighter.

• Dark shadow on her face and body caused by object from above blocking light.

• The light reflecting is filling the dark areas of the previous photo.

How I used a home-made light reflector:

• I took a laminated piece of paper.

• I wrapped the paper in tinfoil.

• I then held the paper up next to the subject.

• The tinfoil reflected the light in the room onto the subject.

my example

my example - Before

• As there was no reflector used a shadow was created where the light from above couldn’t reach.

Without Reflector

my example - After

With Reflector• In order to reduce the

shadow on the side of the object I used a reflector to reflect the light on the side that was not hit directly by the light.

• Type 1:

If the subject of your photo is not moving, or you want to show the passage of time (with arunning river or waterfall), then you can use a slower shutter speed.

• Type 2:

When the subject in the photo is moving it then becomes blurred and the background staysthe same.

Shutter speed- motion blur definition

A found example

• When the shutter speed increases you can almost see the pear in motion.

• The movement is made visible within a a still photograph.

• This is done through the blurring of the image.

A found example

Fast Shutter Speed:

• Each water droplet is made visible to the human eye.

my example

Type 1:

• Because the person is in motion they have become so blurred out that they are hardly visible.

• The background is not as blurred because the camera is not moving along with the person.

my example

Type 2:When the camera follows the moving

person the background becomes blurred and they are much more visible.

my example - Before

Slow Shutter Speed:

• With a slow shutter speed the camera is only able to capture a limited amount of movement thus reducing a blur in the image.

my example - After

• When the shutter speed time is decreased to 0.5 seconds the image becomes blurry as the camera is picking up every movement.

Fast Shutter Speed:

Transferring Photos to computer

Examples:

Cables Bluetooth Email

Connecting a cable with your camera or device and your

computer.

Attaching a file from you ‘Photos’ folder when composing an email.

Once your Bluetooth is on you can click on the found

devices and send your images to the device.

• Framing is using objects in the picture to create a frame around the subject.

• This is a good way to make a photograph look interesting and draw attention to the subject.

• The most basic trick to good composition is called the rule of thirds.

Composition – Framing definition

A found example

Bad Framing • Far too much empty space makes the

picture appear awkward an not appealing to the eye.

• The head of this person has been cut off due to poor framing.

A found example

Good Framing

• The people are in the centre of the frame which stops anything being cut off e.g. their heads or

arms.

my example

Bad Framing

• Because the framing is so poor, the eye is unable to focus on anything in the scenery.

• This makes the photo unappealing to look at despite the setting.

• Empty and awkward spacing.

my example

Good Framing

• The flowers are placed exactly in the centre of the frame.

• Because they are in the centre the photo is more attractive and appealing as this makes it easier for the eye to focus on the object.

my example - Before

• Empty and awkward spacing.

• The edge of the picture is cut off.

• The poor framing doesn’t allow the eye to comfortably focus on the object.

my example - After

• The picture is now in the centre of the frame allowing you to focus on it.

• There is no awkward space to take away focus.
