Notes

Spot Light (Red Head)- Main Light
Deflector (White, Round Disk)- Can use paper instead/ Somthing white
Day light Filter (Blue)
You have to pack away the spot light after everything else, because you have to let it cool down.

My Favourite D. Moment Picture


I took this picture, very quickly i didnt realise they were running up untill short notice

My Favourite Urban Vs Nature Photo


I took this picture because it shows the tree wrapped around in metal bars, and there are three chairs. I like this picture becaue i took it at an angle which shows the simertary between the tree and the chairs.

My Favourite Portrait Photo


This picture shows me against a wall stroking a Peacock. I dont like this picture because it has been taken at the wrong moment, im completely unaware that the photo was being taken.

LandScape and Photography

LandScape gives a much wider picture so they can fit more of the landscape in.

Foreground- The front of the picture
Background- The back of the picture

Rule of thirds

Golden third- Middle section of the picture because that is where most of the detail is.
