Exercise 2 - Expressive Lighting-





Chiaroscuro Lighting is the most expressive in my point of view and that is why I chose it. In this painting, the light comes from the background, giving the trees the dark shadow and more definition to stand out in the light. This kind of lighting often makes objects highlighted or the center of the screen (if in movies). So basically the light source is the sunset (which is even a stronger kind of light source for definition), and if this was a photograph, the camera would have been place opposite to the light source. 





In this photograph, I followed the same steps. The light source was the sunset, and the camera was on the opposite side of the light source, giving the person in the picture more definition, yet no facial details.

picture 6

this picture also shows depth of field. the sign in the foreground and the line of cars parked give the impression that the street appears to be longer than it really is.

picture 5

this picture is simple, i liked the colors on the creamer box so i took the picture.

picture 4

this picture shows the depth of field with the big truck and the cars on the left of it lined up.. looks the parking lot was full when it really was not.

picture 3

i took this picture intentionally out of focus to make it look blurry.. as if the time is not clear..

picture 2

I took this picture in a way to make the AC remote out of focus and to make the glass in it reflect the outside view and put in more in focus.

Exercise 1 part 2- picture 1

I took this picture because in the foreground the sign is written in green and white and in the background, there is the clear blue sky. I love the colors and the wires that go through the picture between the sign and the sky.
