The exposure triangle is made up from the shutter speed, aperture and ISO of a camera, which all work together to give us a perfect exposure. The aperture is the size of the hole which light is passed through in the lens, the smaller the number the larger the opening. The shutter speed also allows us to august the amount of light coming into the camera, the longer the shutter speed the more light is allowed in. Finally ISO control the sensitivity of our camera to light, the lower the number the less sensitive therefore the less light. however the when more light is let in the image can become grainy, we call this noise. there is a meter in our camera that can automatically adjust one of these if you change another however this can change depending on the quality of light available. we usually set two of the three manually and the mere in the camera will change the other for us. we can chose which we would like to adjust depending on the type of photo we are taking.
The colour white reflects any other coloured light that is shone at it, for example if we shine a yellow light at a piece of white paper the paper will appear yellow. In different conditions light can appear more cool in a shady area or warm toned in direct sunlight. Unlike our eyes a camera can only record the wavelengths hitting its sensor, this means something that seems white to us may not appear the same colour in a picture. we can change this using the pre set white balance settings or using the kelvin scale which allows us to change the as much as we want. I took six photographs of the same thing and changed the white balance each time to show how it changes the colours in the image.
what is a contact sheet?
A contact sheet is a piece of photographic paper on to which several or all of the negatives on a film have been contact-printed and sometimes from a film positive,or in the Morden day it is a way to represent and present all your work and development of visual inspiration to how you have found your final piece.Furthermore negatives are developed In a darkroom and exposed and developed piece of photographic film is placed on the emulsion side down, in contact with a piece of photographic paper, light is briefly shone through the negative and then the paper is developed to reveal the final print.
This can clearly been seen here:
The defining characteristic of a contact print is that the resulting print is the same size as the original, rather than having been projected through an enlarger.A contact sheet is not to differ your image or create an illusion of the image,but display and emphasis the original images and similar.You are usually able to see a distinct choice in the paper within circles and marks of significance.
Highly respected and influential photographers are called magnum photographers who produce beautiful contact sheets.
Magnum Contact Sheets reveals how Magnum photographers have captured and edited their best shots from the 1930s to the present. The contact sheet, a direct print of a roll or sequence of negatives, is the photographer's first look and understanding around the scenario at what he or she has captured on film, and provides a uniquely intimate glimpse into their working process.It is more detailed and emphasise journalism within the development of a shoot and a conservation of the persons emotive reflection. It records each step on the route to arriving at an imageproviding a rare behind-the-scenes sense of walking alongside the photographer and seeing through their eyes.
Contact sheets are part of the "decisive moment”it captures a specific moment within their shutter and then furthers to the oversize best capture and desire within their possible one in a million photo.
For this shoot I wanted to develop how the lighting differentiates due to the setting on a camera and changing the expose due to the light itself . So in turn changes the colour of tone between all the images.With my images I wanted to capture a light reflection and shadow coming in from a skylight, this form a large contrasting of shades as well as a reflection creating an effective piece.It also emphasis the amount of light and how each segment of light is reflected within each white balance setting .White balance is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Efficient cameras use white balance to take into account the “colour temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light, such as seen below.
Secondly I then transported my images and edited them into a contact sheet in order to develop the more visual appealing layout also displaying the image effectively. Furthermore I save this as a Jpeg and made it into the best quality and displayed this work in the best manner suited.Lastly below you can clearly see the ways in witch to tell what setting to get the best photo from your lighting, wether its artificial or natural.
At it’s simplest white balance is adjusted to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible. If it is not adjusted to suit the environment, images will appear too warm or cool. This will result in highly blue or orange photographs.
Here are the images in which I took around school came out.
To produce this contact sheet I used adobe bridge and Photoshop.
I then selected all the images in which I intended to use for the contact sheet in adobe bridge.
After having selected the images I clicked on tools and then dropped down on the ‘Photoshop’ option and clicked contact sheet II.
A contact sheet is a piece of photographic paper on to which several or all of the pictures in a shoot have been spread out.
We use contact sheets to easily pick out and select the best and worst images from a photo shoot and simply display all the photos in which one has taken.
After having created a contact sheet we select our best images and then edit them accordingly.
