PROJECT #8: SILHOUETTES (15+)

DIRECTIONS IN CLASS. 

Make 5+ different and creative silhouette (back light) photographs

                         

DIRECTIONS FOR HOMEWORK. 

Make 10+ different and creative silhouette (back light) photographs

Be Mindful of:

*A dark place (or nighttime), and ONE light source will most likely give you success. 

*Use a person as your subject matter. 
*Manipulate the position of the light to achieve different cast shadows and highlights.
*If you are using a light you cannot move, reposition your person so that the cast shadows and highlights are different from the previous photograph.

Bring your 10 homework photos to next class period.

 

METERING FOR SILHOUETTES:

To meter something means to tell the camera to measure light.

FIRST: 
Set the ISO a little lower than the light conditions need. (this will make the image slightly underexposed).

SECOND: 
1. On a phone camera, the metering happens when you tap the screen to lighten or darken your image. Tap the bright background light to make your subject in the middle become a silhouette. Then, take the picture.

2. On a camera, put your settings on AUTO for now (manual settings coming next).
Then, point the camera at the bright background and lightly press the shutter button to activate the light meter. Put your subject between you and the light. Then, snap the picture.

GET: An APP for Adjusting Shutter Speed

For the next project (motion blur), you will need an app for your phone that allows you to control the shutter speed.

Here are a couple of links for ANDROID:

Get THIS ONE if your budget allows. CLICK HERE.
Android users. CLICK HERE.
This site (CLICK HERE) might have a shutter app for your phone.

Here are a couple of links for iPHONE:
Get THIS ONE if your budget allows. CLICK HERE.
iPhone user. CLICK HERE. 
CLICK HERE FOR OTHERS (iPhone).

MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE TO LOOK FOR IN THE APP YOU GET: 
You want an app that will give you a range of slow shutter speeds (1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 1", 10", 30", 60", Bulb)

In the app, the shutter speed may not look like a fraction. It may just be a listing of the denominator of the shutter speed fractions. (ex: 250, 125, 60, 30, 15, 8, 4...).
