Q Instructions Assignment 4: Part 2: Artificial Light Instructions to complete this assignment: 1.) Shoot 9 photographs total under artificial or mixed light conditions. (For example photograph a bathroom during the day with tungsten lights on and windows that allow daylight to also illuminate the scene or a scene that only has one source of artificial light.) Set your camera to a higher ISO when shooting in low light situations. ISO of 800 or 1000 is a good suggestion. 2.) Take 3 photographs of the same scene with the same composition, only changing your WB so that you can start to see the difference in color casts. (Most of your cameras should have tungsten, fluorescent, auto, cloudy, and something else. Experiment with candlelight if you’d like to!) 3.) You may experiment with “wrong” color casts. Set your camera to fluorescent but shoot in daylight, set your camera to tungsten but shoot in fluorescent light, etc. 4.) You will therefore turn in 3 sets of 3 images each. This means you are shooting 3 different scenes/objects/subjects and changing the WB to 3 different settings per scene/object/subject. 5.) On Flickr, please note the light source and white balance setting used for every image. (For example source: daylight and fluorescent / white balance: auto; or source: tungsten and daylight / white balance: tungsten. Tips: BE CREATIVE! Use artificial light to convey a mood or tell a story. Artificial light is usually dimmer and less rich in color than sunlight. Each type has a distinct color cast, which you can correct (using WB, or white balance, in digital cameras and filters for film). Try to recognize each kind of light for this assignment as there are often two or three in one setting. The lighting of a scene can be an important element in altering the mood or emotional quality of a photograph. These are the types of light to look for in this assignment: • incandescent/tungsten light (from a lamp that takes light bulbs), will be yellow/blue in color • fluorescent light (there is plenty in buildings such as schools), will be green in color • two mixed light situations: daylight and tungsten or fluorescent and cloudy • candlelight is especially orange and dim, though the flame is bright Turning in Your Assignment • Create a new Flickr photo albums named o Assignment 4: Part 1 (Natural Light) ?
