In this lesson we looked at shutter speed and the creative
effects available when you manually control your camera. We looked at the
extremes and first considered long exposures.
We went to the theatre where we could be in total darkness and used
lazer pens to paint with light.
Our exposures were 30 seconds each allowing us
the time to write and draw around people and on the theatre walls. We then
mixed this light painting with the ambient light from the spot lights.
The spot
lights are very bright and we calculated we only needed ¼ second flash from the
spot light within the 30 second exposure to light up the students on the stage.
By mixing our lighting we produced excellent results and were able to write our
names with the lazer pen while appearing in the images.
We then thought about
extremely fast exposures so we could freeze movement. We were lucky as student
Ashkot is studying street gymnastics and is able to back flip. A perfect
subject for our fast exposures.
By shooting with shutter speeds of 1/1250 and
over we were able to capture him frozen and upside down in the air! A fun
lesson where a lot of technical information has been learnt.
