Project #5 Reflective Surfaces/No Flash




Reflective Surfaces/No Flash
  1. Before you take any pictures, have a look at your camera. The upside down arrow represents the flash. When we have our cameras on the auto setting, we are letting the camera decide when we should use a flash. Usually, a flash is used when there isn’t enough light in the room.
  2. Your upside down arrow will either be on a button on the back of your camera, or in the settings. If you can’t find it let me know. Try turning your flash off. You can most likely do this by selecting the picture of an arrow crossed out with a circle around it.
  3. Usually a flash gives us clearer pictures, because it captures a quick moment. Not using a flash might give you “ghost images” or squiggly lines. Therefore, when you take a picture without a flash you will probably want to set your camera down (I have provided boxes for this). Lock your arms to your body and become the tripod. It is not a bad idea to set your timer too!
  4. Look at the reflective surfaces I have laid out on the table. Come up with some interesting ways to shoot objects or self portraits using these items.
  5. Take about 5-10 pictures. Upload your favorite 3 and edit them if you like.Please email me one at kristin.leclercq@gmail.com.
