Hard Light with Modification - Butterfly and Back Light
1. Light Modification Vocabulary
For this vocabulary exercise you will be breaking into groups of 5. Each student will be selecting on of the following terms to create a Verbal Visual Word Association(VVWA).
Once you have completed your card share out with your group so that you all have a good understanding of all of the words. These vocabulary words are really the building blocks for the rest of the term.
- Key Light
- Lens Flare
- Fill Card
- Lighting Ratio
- Augment
- Center Diamond - The Word
- Top Left - Definition of the Word
- Top Right - Image that reminds you of the definition
- Bottom Left - Analogy/ personal association
- Bottom Right - How it is used in photography

2. Reflected Light Game - Practice the Angle of Reflection
Go to the following website to practice how light is reflected. As you complete each scenario take a screen shot so that you can post each of your successful reflections to your website.

Go to the following link and answer the following 5 questions. http://www.zachandjody.com/blog/tuesday-tips-tricks-reflector-awesomeness/7273/
1. What are 5 surfaces that the reflector comes in?
2. Where should the fill light be seen in the image?
3. Look the the 4 images of the girl in the field. Describe the differences as they modified the lighting.
4. How can the reflector be used as the main light instead of the fill?
5. In the wedding shot, how does the refection of the reflector in the eyes change the photo?

4. Hard Light with Modification
For this shooting assignment you will be working in group of three. Each person in the group will have a chance to preform all three of the jobs: Photographer, Assistant, and Model. In this shoot you will be experimenting with:
Bracketing
For this assignment several of the Lighting conditions may cause the light meter to be fooled. To make sure that you get a good exposure for each of your lighting directions we are going to use a technique called bracketing. Basically bracketing means that you will be shooting not only at the normal exposure, but at set interval above and below the normal exposure. For each direction of light use the light meter to expose: +2, +1.3, +0.7, 0, -0.7. This will give you about a 3 stop range of exposure. Set up the camera in the following way to make your shoot easier.

- The direction of light to create the different lighting techniques
- Learning how to work with reflectors to modify the shadow of the portrait
- Diffusing the hard light to create a soft light portrait

- Set the camera mode to (A) Aperture priority
- Make sure that the camera is set to ISO 100 and JPG Fine
- Use either the 50mm or the 70-300mm lens
- Set the the F-stop to the lowest setting
- Use the +/_ exposure compensation button to adjust the exposure to the earlier specified numbers
Butterfly Light with Modification
Back Light with Modification
At the top of your page, you will be creating 2 Best of Galleries for each directions of light, with the best exposure for each modification. Label the direction of light and identify the exposure compensation used for the best image.There will be 5 all together.
Also, below post separate galleries of each of the modifications. Label the direction and the exposure compensation of each shot.
