Saturday's Assignment
Isn't that an oxymoron? What the heck is hard light anyway? I figured it must have something to do with sunlight, but today is a pretty gloomy day so it'll be difficult to find any sun to shoot in. I looked "hard light" up on google and it said something about lighting and the sharpness of shadows vs the softer shadows with soft lighting. So once again I set up my photo shoot- took four sharpened pencils, a white piece of paper, took the lampshade off of the lamp and set the lamp down on a box. The problem that I have with this picture is that even though the shadows are sharp the paper is no longer white. Hmmmm. Not quite sure what I did to cause that except that I went into aperature vs program mode. Didn't notice that the paper had changed color until I loaded it into the computer. I have to remember to look at EVERYTHING that I am shooting, not just the subject.
