Within this session, we were split into groups whereby we had to travel around the college creating images that complied to the brief in order to create a college prospectus. The area of college that we worked with was Landbase (Animal Care).
To begin with we photographed the microscope shot by first working out the settings on the camera and placing the lights where they were needed. For all of the shots we needed to turn the room lights off. For the microscope image we set the equipment up to be in the image, arranged the softbox to the right of the camera (power 3) and an umbrella light to the left hand side of the camera (1/4 power).
Here is our groups final image that we took using students from landbase.
The next image was within the X-ray area where we used the X-ray to create the next image. For this image below the settings we used were ISO 400, F-10, and 1/150. We used the light box that is used to view the X-rays and natural lighting.
We then tried to photographing the X-ray up against the window, to see the skeleton. The camera settings we used were ISO 200, F-10 and 1/150. We also used a soft box (power 1) to the left hand side of the camera.
The next shoot was to photograph the lizard with a student alongside the cages of various other creatures. We made sure that the room lights were all turned off. We used three lights in total; a soft box for the subject (power 4), and two standard lights pointing at the ceiling corners (full power) this was to bounce the light around the room to light it.
The last shoot was to capture the two donkeys together but it was difficult to get them together so we concentrated on one of them.
Overall, I feel that I have learnt a lot by doing lighting on location and with more practice I will be able to do it naturally. It was a great session and I had great fun.
