THE LIGHTING ANGLE

Having worked out a manageable system for diffusing the light, we are now told to experiment with using it from different directions.So went ahead to set up an arrangement experimenting with different objects. I finally settled with some nice vases in my living room to see the effect of diffused light at different angles.

Image 1 above shows some shadows to the left even with the diffuser.

Image 2:Light to the right of subject,ISO 1000,50mm,f/11,8.0s with tripod

With the light to the right of subject, the shadows on the vases appear to be sharper at the edges. I used auto white balance throughout because when i attempted using flash white balance, the images appeared to tainted orange in color. Maybe the color of light in the interior affected the result.

Image 4: Light behind the subject, ISO 1000,0ev,f/11,4s,with tripod,

With the image 4, i was supposed to get a silhouette which did'nt turn out so. It may possibly due to the flash power which i set at 1/128 based on the aperture and ISO i was using. I would need some now explanation from my instructor to help me get better at this next time. I know that to achieve a silhouette, the light meter is balanced with the brighter light and and the camera  re-directed to the dark area and then shutter is pressed. Thats now i have achieved silhouette before. But this one proved to be more challenging.
