Archery 4 Photography

1.) You are going to need to a tripod in order to catch your subject moving without the picture quality being blurry.

2.) A dark room with a dark background is needed so that your focus is on the main subject, and they show up with your flash and to lessen the ambient lighting.

3.) You will need a flash in order to expose your subject at your predetermined set points.

4.) Adjust your aperture so that you can control how long you want your exposure time to be, to get you the effect you want, you can also lower your aperture to minimize the ambient lighting in your images.

5.) The shutter speed is important because you can control how many movements you want to capture in a picture by lowering or making the shutter speed higher.

6.) Direction for your subject is important because they are the focal point for your image, and they set the theme, and they start the exposure with their first pose.

7.) The recycle rate for your flash doesn’t need to be in full power mode, if you want to have multiple movements in a picture, which looks better than only having two moments in an exposure.

8.) If you have an extra pair of hands, you can get them to help you while one of you handle the camera and the other handles the flash in order to have the best quality picture.

9.) If you don’t have an extra pair of hands, you can use a remote triggers for the strobes, or flash, or you can use a two second timer to give the subject time to move in between the camera and the light.

10.) Keep going, and keep trying new things, you can always try new directions for your subjects, new shutter speeds, apertures, or new lighting. You are going to need time and patience. You will have to shoot a lot of frames, but remember to be creative with it and to have fun.

What is the light source?

• For both Grace and Pola, the light source is from a studio lamp.

What direction is the light coming from?

• The light is coming from the right on Grace’s picture, and the light is coming from top right in Pola’s picture.

What is the best way to recreate the lighting you see in the image?

• For Grace’s image I need to turn my face to right. I need to get a lamp and angle it to the left side of my face, in order to cast a shadow on my right side. For Pola’s image I need to turn my body to the left and look slightly to the right. I need to position the lamp to the right side and have it angled up a little.

Where is the camera in relation to the subject?

• The camera for Grace is at eye level and so is Pola’s. The difference is that one is zoomed in and the other is not.
