For Monday, 8/30
Using the studio setup from class/demo, set up a simple still life situated fairly close to the grey background. The still life arrangement should be "tall" versus "wide", to be shot in a vertical (portrait) orientation. Please choose light tone/color object(s), avoiding shiny plastic, metal or glass.
Possibilities: Gallon of milk, doll/figurine, flowers, etc.
Create two versions of this still life, one with active lighting, one with passive. Keep composition and framing same for both. Using tripod can help with this. See examples, below.
The active light will use a faux blinds "gobo," with direct light, while the passive example will use diffuse light (light diffused with tracing paper).
Use the light meter to determine correct exposure, as demonstrated in class. Remember to re-meter, and adjust the power of the strobe, for each version.
Let's use ISO 400 for this exercise, and f11, white balance set to strobe. Make sure camera and light meter setting match.
