Photography Project
The reason why I have chosen this photo for my studio
project is because skateboarding really inspires me, ever since I was young
I've always loved skateboarding so this was the main reason why I've chosen
skateboarding for thing project, How I set up the lighting and how I took the
photo is easy, first I decided to lay it flat on the floor but thought I
doesn't look right with the lighting shining on the main surface of the board,
so I decided to lay it on its back while I've got a nice shadow of the pink wheel
reflecting the shadow onto the bottom part of the board, with the detail in
place I took the first shot but thought it was a bit too bright so I set the it
to manual focus and set the camera to 1/10 F13 then going into the main menu
White balance, Fluorescent and set it on
Day White Fluorescent and dimmed the
light tot the standards I needed it to dimed While the board was laying on the
chair I decided to zoom in to the truck and the wheel and manually focused onto
the wheel more than anything else to I can get the detail of the shadow and the
trucks.
I took the shot but what I like about the photo the most is
that how you can see the details of the scratches and damage the skateboard has
been threw and how you can see the deep scratches on the trucks it’s self, I
also like how you can see the hand coming together with the outline of the leaf
has a nice tone of green to it, I think the green background gives it that
little boost to the colour of the leaf and the shadow of the skateboard behind
the skateboard.
What I could have done to improve the photo was to dime the
lighting I was using called the soft box to give it a darker tone to the photo
I think it would of gave the photo a bit more detail.
