Low Key shots.
I did a series of photos on my brother, at an area with low lighting. I thought I could use them for my low key photo.
This was another photo taken at the same area.
However, Jing pointed out that the background of these photos was still too bright. So she suggested I retake the photos elsewhere.
I decided to take the photos during a gathering that my friends and I had at a bar. I know someone didn't recommend taking photos at a bar due to the low lighting and low tendency to get a good, focused shot, but I wanted to try it anyway. I'm really happy with the results :)
Almost ended up using this shot for my high key photograph. Because the details of the keyboard were sufficiently blurred out, and I was pleased with the effect.
And here's the final photo after some post-processing:
High Key.
I chose to take high key photographs of my white-coloured X Mini speaker!
Here's the original photograph:
As you can see, it's not VERY white. And there's too much contrast in the photo for it to be high key. The photo is also a little dark, though I took it under bright sunlight and had an exposure value of +0.7.
My first attempt to post-process the photo:
Although I managed to get rid of most of the high contrast shadows, the photo was still relatively high contrast. Jing pointed out a certain shadow cast by the speaker and said that I should lighten it to reduce the contrast.
Final Post Processing:
Finally, after adjusting curves, brightness, and whiting out some of the shadows and the wire behind the speaker, I got a photo that looks mostly white, with little contrast and shadows.
Class Assignment: Exposure Values.
We were supposed to play with exposure values during this class assignment!
Exposure +1.0
Exposure 0.0
Exposure -1.0
Exposure 0.0
Exposure +1.0
Exposure +2.0
Attempt at a high key shot! Using the pretty white keyboards at the mac lab!
Overexposure! Blurs out all the details.
