Quality of Light

NATURAL LIGHT

There is a hardness on the amount of light hitting the apple. The highlight is very small but vibrant/"hot spot". The cookies are very textured and show a lot more cracks. The apple has a very large shadow on it and makes it so it doesn't show the whole apple's color.

DIFFUSED LIGHT

There is still a shadow but it is very soft, almost unnoticeable. The cookies seem to be less textured and have less of a shadow. The apple's highlight is very large but still noticeable. The apple doesn't seem very vibrant but it still shows all the color of the apple unlike that of the natural. 

REFLECTED LIGHT (BOUNCED LIGHT)

The shadows are still shown but they are very dimmed and more soft than that of natural light. his version of the scene shows more of the apple's vibrant color and still provides a "hot spot" on the apples top. This makes the scene more eligible for a marketing. The cookies are not very textured but still provide a certain "crumminess". 

Focal Length Lab

1. HUG 
1) How would you describe the size of what is closest to the camera (such as their hands), vs. what is furthest from the camera (such as their head)?

TELEPHOTO

1) The head looks rather large compared to the hands.

WIDE

1) The view is that the hands look closer to the camera while the head looks smaller (father away)

2. KARATE KICK 

1) How would you describe the size of what is closest to the camera (such as their foot), vs. what is furthest from the camera (such as their head)?

2) Does the length of the subject's leg appear the same in both photographs?

TELEPHOTO

1) There is no part of the body that looks like it's closer or father.

WIDE

1) The foot looks like it's closer to the camera compared to the head.

2)The leg looks longer in the wide angle lens than in the telephoto lens. 

 

3. HEAD SHOT 

TELEPHOTO

WIDE

 1) Describe the differences in the subject’s features with the wide angle and telephoto lenses.

The telephoto lens makes her nose look larger and her head look larger than that in the wide angle lens.

 2) Based on your observations from all three subjects, what would you conclude is a characteristic of a wide angle lens?

I think the characteristics of the wide angle lens is that it makes the photo appear to be closer or farther depending on the objects in the photo. It shows more proportions compared to the telephoto lens.

 

3) Based on your observations from all three subjects, what would you conclude is a characteristic of a telephoto lens?

      The telephoto lens shows characteristics out or proportion and having no variety in distance comparison to hand to face ratio (for example).  It makes the photo look very flat compared to that of the wide angle lens.
