Today I arrived at school and was told we had a lighting induction! I found this super fun because we experimented with continuous lighting, the lights we used were tungsten (ARRI 300's) and LED. We also played around with the different white balance's on our camera's, including fluorescent and incandescent.

I quite enjoyed playing around with the different lighting etc..because you can really see the difference in natural lighting and controlled lighting. We were put into groups of 6 and we got to play around with the two different lights on our own. We used several people in our groups to act as models so we could see how the features of the model's face change. I took a really cool photo of Jordan and as you can see the lighting really brings out the features of his face in the photo.

We then went to the library after lunch and looked for some books that we found interesting. I picked out a vogue book and some vogue magazines from the 80's, 90's and 00's to see the difference in the models, the way they took photo's and the change in clothing from the different decades. I quite like the fashion side of photography so that's why I picked them out. We then had a lesson on blogging for our first project in case some of us were confused as to what we had to do, we had to find a couple of blogs that we found cool so that we could perhaps base our ideas on them.
