At the begging of this workshop we discussed about shutter types that are placed with the Hassel blade camera. The DSLR camera has Focal Plane shutters and film cameras –Leaf shutters. In the presentation shown, some photographer’s were introduced: Adam Amengual, Philip Dicorsia, Kate Peters, Kiran Master and ect…We analyzed and leant some info about their work, especially how they all use fill in flash.
Working in groups we were given a task:
· Make set of portraits in a interior space,
Combining available-light with the Metz flash. (Fill-in technique)
· With Manual settings; Crete images with different ratios: -2 and -3 stops. (Combine with ambient light)
· Bounced and diffused technique should be used (Spun and Neutral Density gel)
· Two frames on Auto settings
Jonathan demonstrated these shots, and my group and I had 3-4hrs to complete our task. Once completed we then returned to the studio with contact sheets. And analysed each groups piece of work. I found this helpful, as we were given feedback on how we could improve for further knowledge.
Received knowledge:
· Shutter speed dictates background light (ambient)
· The power of flash dictates subject brightness
· The aperture effects everything: overall brightness of the image
· Move the subject away from the background
· Taking readings with flash meter from subject – always flash mode shutter speed should be set on 1/500
Ratio types:
1:1=0 F-Stop
2:1=1 F-Stop
3:1=1.5 F-Stop
4:1=2 F-Stop
