Project 3 Finalize

•For the Project 3 – Lighting, I decided to use my handmade models and

take the photo in the dark with different lights sources shine on it.

•These models would be taken in different angles to be transformed  into

different meanings. I also tried to use close up shot for these model and

keep the ISO a bit high to get the brightness. The first model I use the angle

that pointed up to make the model looks like a real house. The second

model was taken with the support light under it so when I placed it in the

night photo It will give the effect of a transparent statue. As for the third

model I tried to show is as a texture column under the bridge. Finally, as for

the 4th model, originally it is an exhibition place. I took a photo of it in a

dark place and only have lights come from under the exhibition columns so

that it could give a feeling of this as in space.

•As for the landscape in model 2 and 3, it was taken at night time. I set the a

shutter speed to be a longer exposure.  The slower shutter speed, the more

time I have to gather all the brightness of light together. I also need a tripod

to hold up the camera while taking these photos. 

•The night shoots are really powerful when the result of this effect is giving great light streaks in strong color and tonal contrast against the dark background.

"Light" Processing

Idea changed to taking photos of my architecture models and some new handmade models in different angles. The aim is to transfer these model into other meaning and fit in real life somehow.

 1st model: It's an exhibition place small scale model. I took pictures in different angels

                      

 Then turn off all the lights and only left the light under the model's columns on. The result of it is the exhibition place now looks like something from the space
