Assignment 4

Hi photoclass,
This week, we are going to work on composition. What I want you to do is make 5 different photo's of a sodacan.
1 where the camera is higher than the can
1 where the camera is the same hight as the can
1 where the camera is lower than the can
1 with the can in the middle of the photo
1 with the can at about 1/3 of the photo
at least 1 with natural light (sun or clouds), at least 1 with artificial light (candles, lightbulbs, flashlights, whatever you want that isn't the sun) (can be mixed with the previous 3)
you can mix those.... so a photo with the can in the middle, shot from the same hight and using natural light covers those 3 requirements all in one photo
tips:

• mind your background : make sure it fits the photo, when in doubt, search for a white wall or use a sheet of paper to make your own... put the can on the bottom and bend the paper against the wall to make a seamless background
• use a tripod or pose the camera on a stable surface to get sharp long exposures
• look at the photo's and try to improve them while shooting, don't be satisfied with the first attempts

I thought a lot about what I wanted to do, and I had some fun ideas. But when it came down to actually doing it my head just wasn't in it. 

Artificial light from the fridge

This one I'm not sure of. Shot vertically since the cup is vertical, but doing so cuts the can off. I'll probably hear about this one.

Natural light outside, shot above can

Camera at same level natural light.

I don't feel like I gave it my all on this one. I did a lot of shots over and over.  I used my tripod and the can pouring one. I feel like I could have changed the exposure on that one a little to lighten it up and get a longer exposure of the drink pouring.

Yes, I love Diet Pepsi.
