Location photography: 2015

Those pictures were taken with a camera filter, and is not much to say about them, is a mirror filter so it duplicate half of the photograph as if was a mirror. If you have time an patience you can actually do some cool stuff with it. Personally I am not the biggest fan of this kind of filters. Though they are very fun and nice to play with but as usual I wouldn't use it for a "serious" project, even if I think, creating a proper scene for it you could be able to do some crazy stuff.
So all those photographs are just an example of what you can do, even if I just used to have a fun time with my friends.

reflexion of reflects.

I loved to play with the light in the night and catch its reflects.
To get successful images I had to play with the exposure time but also with the ISO number, depending what I wanted to catch on the image.
For those pictures I had open for a long time the exposure time and I had the ISO number not too high,( 200-400 ) just enough to help the camera to catch the shapes but letting the light coming in the camera to do the job, in this way I got images were the shapes are enough sharp but is the street light what is drawing them. The complication of those photographs is I had to stand without a tripod for about half second to take them, so I had to take them several times, as my hands are quiet shaky.

Then to take photographs of the reflects on the water I had to use a little higher ISO number so I could use a little faster shot, a lower exposition time, so I could get defined shapes, instead unfocused blobs of light.

All those pictures, taken at midnight, on my way back to work, weren't the easier shots, and I took some time in regulate my camera, but I ended up being able to catch what I wanted in a successful way: the light's reflect over the river .

indoors. natural and supplementary lighting.

I took some pictures inside my living room, trying supplementary and natural lights.

-Supplementary lights: I had a lamp used to light the scene while filming and one very soft light with a blue filter. They didn't really work, as I couldn't get the room to be enough dark to really appreciate the supplementary lightening s good as it could be.

(*1) on this shot i used a supplementary strong light coming from left side and a soft blue filtered light from the right, which didn't stand as I wanted to. The supplementary lights were one too powerful, and the blue one too soft, so take a right picture not burned was difficult.
I had to take it with a short exposure time. a high ISO number wasn't necessary either.
But the only thing I was really happy about this photograph was that the smoke was well visible, for the rest, I think this shooting was very unsuccessful.

(*2 & *3) On this shoots I did use a longer exposition time and a little higher ISO number as I had used the natural light coming from the window place on the right side, so all what I had to do was be able to keep my position a bit longer with no shake my hands to have a sharp image.

The problem with this photography was the actual camera, I was happy with the shot, but my camera crops a side of the image once taken, ( it's broken), so it was kind of a nightmare to be able to position the subject on the right place for the final image.

I also took some pictures at the Tattoo convention , using strictly the lighting they already had set, which was enough bright to allow me to take fast shoots, and catch the people while working and moving, and obtaining clear images.
(I used 200-400 iso number and a exposition about 1/80)
Again all the complication of those shots was to position my subject on the correct place, as the camera crops a side of the photograph you are taking.
