This weeks lectures and tutorials were on shadows and reflections. We have also begun to start shooting in RAW as opposed to jpeg for better image clarity amongst other reasons. Using light, the mission is too take pictures of shadows of ourselves, as well as shadow's from other objects. While at first this was difficult because the sun was hardly peaking out, it did eventually open up. The same goes for reflections in which we would also have to use both natural and unnatural light to take adequate reflection photos. Having learned about light and how to use it, we modified ISO's they were smaller for shadows and higher for reflections. I think I did a decent job at creatively finding ways to take these pictures, but I could definitely use some practice when it comes to adapting to the available light.

Wanted to take a reflection photo of something other than a person! I tried to get some symmetry in it as well!

Seems a bit eerie, doesn't it?

Not a particularly good photograph, I do however like the way it looks like he is standing in the other room though he is right next to me.

This was my attempt at making only the silhouette of the tree available, however I should've focused more on the back ground before taking it.

Because of the fact that today is Robert Capa's 100th birthday, I decided to use him as my photographer for the week. Capa's best known work came from his photographs in wartime. Though one of his famous pictures (of author John Steinbach) is a reflection photograph, so I figured I'd include it for this blog's sake. Though limited by technology in this regard, his shootings are all in black and white which makes them seem more powerful. The image of the fallen soldier is particularly haunting, rarely do we get a glance at such a drastic image from the World Wars. His most famous image, though unavailable to be posted on this blog because of sourcing, was that of a man being shot standing in a field. To attain the shot he was sitting in a trench, hearing the fire and just stuck his camera over the ledge at the moment the man had gotten shot. Sometimes it's all about timing, or lack their of for the poor soldier who received the bullet.
