November 2008 - Photo assignment 1 - Low light - natural or un-natural

[Marko]

I like to keep these assignments as wide as possible but tegan came up with a good advanced way to shoot this assignment.

So - this is a low light assignment and feel free to shoot it in any way you see fit.

BUT

if you wanted to take it up a notch you could try unnatural low light according to tegan's explanation/suggestion.
"Now of course, a mid day shot can be transformed into a night shot perhaps with moonlight through any number of approaches including filters, shooting through dark transparent glass or plastic, solarization, as well as selective darkening and a whole raft of postprocessing methods."

This should be a creative one either way!

Thanks!

Cool effect! Great job! Very little blur to me.

Very little blur?! He's got two backs!!

ANyway, yeah I like the effect - it's spoiled a little for me by having the subject dead centre though.

Hmm, this might be a good opportunity to do some light painting, methinks...

[Marko]

I like this shot and the mood it evokes. The blur doesn't even bother me much. It's the dead center subject that could be greatly improved through some drastic cropping.

This is a fun theme...who is next?

Ok this is my attempt - it is taken from inside behind a window of the moon

[Marko]

I like this shot Elle. It might be even more effective if the whole image was a wee bit darker, but i like it!
