More Light

3rd
The smartphone app, is something for us to try, well play with.
Anyway, its all about light painting and ISO levels last meeting. Yes ISO, controls overall light, and some parts of the photo's quality (unless it was intentional), but the main highlight was light painting. At first I thought I was light drawing, but I realized that light painting is photography itself, while the painting one is the literal drawing one, with light (and blurriness) at least. It gave me more ideas to portrait like light paintings (Unlike the common paintings, of highway cars etc), its amazing. Without sugar coating t, Sir Ray, your statement is definitely correct, You really should be the best among every class you thought, respect!
On the other part, as an assignment for light painting, I asked Michelle to come with me and do something fun with it, like putting ourselves in a picture frame, of light! With limited time, no tripod, only us two, we have gone to a low light place, where stairs are present for us to place Madonna (My 700D Camera). I have set my settings to Exposure Time10   F/10   ISO100, with the help of some bright lights provided by my phone and some gadgets for 2 seconds. Since Michelle has a Photo-phobia disorder (Eye disorder, where bright lights can cause dizziness, almost similar to vertigo), I asked to cover her face, as well as mine, to make the image look natural. Snap!
Took me sometime to perfect the frame, but this is the best i can draw so far. Its kinda cute though.

To define the Exposure Triangle, well, its consist of Shutter Speed (Tv) , Aperture (Av) and ISO. This 3 components of it controls the entrance of light to the camera. Each has a specific purpose, Shutter Speed, defines the entry of light in time, the lower the shutters peed, the faster the snap, less light will enter, the sharper and "stiller" the image. Higher shutter speed in contrast, captures more light, and is prone to motion blur, useful for light paintings and long exposure. Aperture, is the hole in the camera, where the entrance of light is being controlled. Also this defines the depth of field of the camera. ISO is managed by the camera sensor, and should be the last on to configure. Lower ISO has the highest quality of an image , higher ISO, is brighter, but grainy.

Note: The previous blog was sent to the wrong email instead of raymendoza it was "raybmendoza". Its about time I noticed as I check my mails. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Triangulation

2nd Day. 1st of July
Its all about freezing time, and the entrance of light. Its was an experience. Actually it is more of  a challenge finding something with a limited amount of settings first, since were only allowed to freely change a single setting at first. The Shutter Speed. In that way we have to capture something, duly related to shutterspeed. So what I got is a light painting, which was later deleted in my camera. That case, I have to make another one, and that is the image, I came to develop for the next meeting.
Took the shot before leaving, it was broad daylight, so I have to close all curtains, affecting the overall photocolor.I used a tripod and timed the camera for 10s. I made a lightsaber (sorta) at Exposure Time5   F/10   ISO100.
Aside from that, its another experience, learning more of the Aperture and its depth of field.
