Light Observations (3)

In part 1C of the FST 302 Project, the groups had to go out and take photos, using three different exposures. My group decided to go to the Wildflower Preserve on campus to take some nature shots. The first shot I took was a closeup of moss on the bark of a tree. The forest we photographed in was very dense, therefore the lighting was not as bright as we wanted it to be. Plus, it had recently rained, and the sky was still gloomy. With this in mind, we had to use a smaller F-stop, to let more light in. The lighting was hitting the moss from the back, but I thought it created a nice highlight around the exterior of the moss.

My group took a few more photos in the Wildflower Preserve where there was more light, and less canopy coverage on top. We got a few long shots of grass and flowers. The F-stops were a little bigger (in number) than the one of the moss, because the lighting was a tad brighter in those areas.

The last place we decided to go to take photographs was the south end of Wrightsville Beach. We went at nighttime, a nice change from the other photos we took. We went to the beach around 11pm - there was practically no ambient light, only artificial from street lights and our phones. I took a close up of a palm tree, and since lighting was sparce, we created our own through phone lights. I placed one phone at the back, and one to the side, casting a nice shadow to the right of the tree. Obviously, our F-stop was on the smallest number, due to the limited lighting.
