Digital Light Study (Hot Lights with Object)
OBJECTIVE:
Utilizing a digital camera and hot lights, you will shoot a single object in 9 different lighting situations: single light source, reflected light and multiple light source situations. You will be required to take notes on your chosen lighting effects. The downloaded images will then be composed into a lighting proof sheet in In-Design with descriptions of each situation. This proof sheet should be considered a reference for lighting effects when you are utilizing hot lights for future assignments.
Shooting ASSIGNMENT _ capture 9 different lighting situations, _ SHOOT 1 ROLL / 12-18 Digital Images
You will be required to set up and put away all your lighting, be aware that if you drop anything you bought it – so be careful!!

- Metering a situation – to achieve full detail in the negative the highlight and shadow should be 1 stop in difference. More than 1 stop will create a loss of detail in the shadows – 4 stops will create a black background. Set the camera to the highlight area.
