Experimental Lighting

10.0 seconds   f/5.3

 8.0 seconds   f/4.5

15.0 seconds   f/3.5


These pictures where all taken using a Nikon D3100. In the first photo I decided to try and light up the background, to show an outline of the subject. This ended up going much better than expected as I was able to  light up the entire subject except for the face. This gives the photo an eerie feeling; this was also the reason for choosing the color red. I achieved this by outlining the subject with a red light. 

In the second picture, I was inspired by star wars and the “blaster” that is used by characters throughout the movie. I decided to set the camera up and get someone to walk across from where I was moving a light while turning the light on and off. This ended up working very well as the position I am in looks like I am moving and the light looks like the type of light that would come from a “blaster.”

In the third photo I wanted to give mark an evil twin who sits above him. Although mark’s twin does not exactly look evil in the photo, nevertheless he still has a twin. I accomplished this by having mark sit in the chair for about half of the exposure while I shone a light at him and then had him move and shone the light at him for the rest of the exposure time.
