Studio Photography Lab02


Lab02

 In todays lab we were introduced briefly to the photography studio. We turned down the lights before we began experimenting with the Flash mode on our cameras. Today I was using the Nikon D3500. I have the D3400 at home so there were subtle differences, none that caused any confusion but the camera sat better in my hands and felt more modern and durable.

We had a list of tasks to carry out, changing the values of the flash along with the modes.
After taking several random pictures of the roof and floor, the flash extremely bright and almost none existent. I finally got the hang of it somewhat. Me and Sophie teamed up and attempted to begin these tasks. It took a lot of messing around with the iso, APERTURE, and shutter speed before finally agreeing on one. We used

F11 Aperture
100 ISO
100 Shutter speed.

This was my first picture. The lighting was better than expected but I was met with a very dark, noticeable shadow behind. This was quickly fixed by moving closer to the wall and slightly away from the light above.


This was a couple pictures later. The entire time shooting I had  fog effect on the lens which lowered the quality slightly and gave a blurry effect. This was very mild and allowed me to still take some decent shots.


I lowered the flash composition value and came out with a darker image. This change was slight but it made the flash feel a bit more natural.

Finally we shot with a window in the background. I really like this shot. It could definitely be better but for the most part it came out good. The flash in the reflection of the window is noticeable so I will keep that in mind next time I shoot. 

Today has been successful. I've learned a lot and am more comfortable using the flash. I never would have before.

Proposal & Research My product that I will be photography and developing an advertisement for Orchard Thieves Cider. I was heavily inspired by the global Jameson Ginger and Lime campaign to promote Jameson Whiskey. I work as a barman and was instantly drawn to the advertisement when I first saw it. The drinks looks incredibly appealing when prepared properly. Below I have added one of their advertisement videos which blew me away. Jameson Ginger & Lime Advert Here are some examples of the many images used to promote the recipe. These are easily achievable and extremely effective.     With the use of photoshop, I could also create a poster like this below. Link to full campaign Absole voka also have some inspiring advertisements. I love the color they use to associate with the fruit flavour the vodka is. It's bright and noticeable.  Since cider is associated with Apples and natural ingredients. I plan to incorporate that into my image. I may

Daily Dose Day 1 Third Week of College Semester Coming to the end of our third week in the first semester of our first year in Technological university Blanchardstown (TUDublin). Settling in just fine, meeting a lot of new exciting people that share similar future goals and mindset. The campus is bigger and better than I expected with modern facilities for students to use such as the Gym which I am extremely pleased with. Saving me 40 euro a month.    Currently in my first Lab of Introduction to Digital Media . We are completing tasks to set up our future blog where we will be updating our missions and work throughout the year and documenting our progress of our projects. We were greeted with MAC 's which I have very little experience in using but am excited to learn. The interface is not what I'm used to as I have been using windows for the last 12+ years but there are many similarities so picking it up shouldn't be a problem.
