Light Experiment (Assignment 15)

Shoot 15


Capturing the Light 

This was a fun exercise where we had to capture the light simply falling on the surface, no subject, just the light and how it impacts the surrounding. 



its always so soothing to see that soft gradient coming up the staircase of the building that's still under construction


this time i went for a harsher light, the light is coming from a flood light and is so strong, there aint no gradient but a solid rectangle in perspective along with the shadows that came in light;s way 


a really dark place, an amphitheatre, in the night with very low light in the left side


under the cafeteria, you can see the warm light coming out of that balcony, putting all the focus on the hall above

the hallway to the entrance









Observation 

I observed, how even slight amount of light can help you see the textures and details of the subject, it was much easier in the black and white photos, i noticed that in post production, how it opened up to more details, probably cause i was to focus on sharpness not on colors like in coloured photos, though all these photos are very dark, the b&w ones stand out for me more than the coloured ones. 

Learning

I learnt how b&w photos more details than the coloured since there is no color distraction, also the shadows casted were so sharp, not like it doesnt happen in colored ones it does those photos also have a lot to focus on cause of colors. one thing i learnt about b&w photos is how they give off timeless and classic look and a stronger mood and emotion to the whole composition.

  13th Sept'25 Shoot 4  Motion Freeze Motion freeze in photography refers to capturing a fast-moving subject in a way that it appears perfectly sharp and still, without any visible blur. This is achieved by using a fast shutter speed (e.g., 1/250s, 1/500s, 1/1000s or faster, depending on the subject’s speed). The technique is often used in sports, wildlife, or action photography to highlight details that the human eye might miss, such as a droplet of water mid-air or an athlete in motion. By freezing movement, the photographer emphasizes precision, clarity, and a sense of immediacy in the moment. Falling Matches, capturing this freeze was not an easy task perfectly timing every shot to get that one satisfying motion freeze showing a couple of matches completely still as if they were hanged and not falling. spinning my batmobile (bike) keys and capturing that spin in the dark, also the exposure of this image wasnt set low but the overall lighting of the room was low and on to...

 13th Sept'25 Shoot 3  (AT HOME) Playing with Exposure (again) In this assignment, we explored the impact of exposure on photographic composition. The task was to experiment with different levels of exposure by intentionally creating overexposed and underexposed shots. The aim was to observe how varying light levels influence the mood, clarity, and overall visual balance of an image, but this time at home.  The exposure is set for the darker, ambient parts of the scene, which causes the brightest elements the lights on the stall to become washed. This means a complete loss of detail turning this into pure white areas. However, this approach makes the details in the shadows and the background clearly visible. Original the exposure is set correctly for the brightest part of the image (the stall's lights), preserving all the detail within them, prioritizing the frame (the lights), the shadows and the darker background are dark as hell, meaning they lose all detail and mer...

Shoot 5

   15th Sept'25 Shoot 5 Motion Blur Motion blur in photography happens when a moving subject is captured with a slower shutter speed, causing the motion to appear as a streak or blur in the image. Instead of freezing the action, it emphasizes the sense of movement, speed, and dynamism . Photographers often use this intentionally like blurring car lights in night photography, showing flowing water as silky smooth, or capturing the rush of people in a busy street to create mood and energy. However, if unintentional, motion blur can make photos look shaky or unclear. It’s essentially a creative tool that depends on the right balance of shutter speed, subject speed, and camera stability . made the lighting background blur using colourful wallpaper on the phone and continuously movie it get the blur and put emphasis on the still subject in front  running Jaivin, running towards the camera in ghost capturing its blur meanwhile the background stays is, focusing more on the blur...
