Food Photography

in Food Photography I learned different uses of lights and Color balances which are the most important thing to learn in Food Photography. it makes the food more delicious the way it looks like in personal

I learn how to use manual lights my Group set up a Light for food photography.

I learned to use the Flash w/ Trigger

Portrait Lighting

Split lighting -  it splits the face exactly into equal halves with one side being in the light, and the other in shadow.
Loop lighting - is made by creating a small shadow of the subjects noses on their cheeks.Rembrandt lighting - Rembrandt lighting is so named because the Rembrandt the painter often used this pattern of light in his paintings. Rembrandt lighting is identified by the triangle of light on the cheek. 
Butterfly lighting - named for the butterfly shaped shadow that is created under the nose by placing the main light source above and directly behind the camera.

Here are my example shots.

 

 

Understanding Aperture / Shutter Speed / Iso

Aperture / Shutter speed / Iso


Photography - drawing with the Light
(without light there is no photography)
Aperture is a hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body

f /1.4             f/2                  f/2.8                f/4
the larger the f-number, the smaller the aperture.

Shutter speed it is responsible for creating dramatic effects by either freezing action or blurring motion.
         -controls the light and ambient light 

 Slow shutter speeds allow more light into the camera sensor and are used for low-light and night photography

Ambient light - natural light 
(Shutter speed, also known as “exposure time”, stands for the length of time a camera shutter is open to expose light into the camera sensor.)

ISO the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. It is typically measured in numbers, a lower number representing lower sensitivity to available light, while higher numbers mean more sensitivity. 

More sensitivity comes  ,  the ISO increases, so does the grain/noise in the images. 

Kuler & Blending options

KULER -

* Custom

* Tool used Pen tool for Creating shapes and then Fill it with my chosen colors

 Kuler - > Black and White -> Tool used  Shapes -> Text Based Logo

Blending options 

Kuler - Monochromatic

Typhography

Understanding different types of formats as well as Vector and Raster Image

Jpg - compose of 16.8 million colors

Gif (Graphic interface Format) - can support colors upto 256 colors only  and can also support animation and transparency

Png - a high Resolution file that have heavy files can support up to 16.8millions of colors, Transparency and  Animation

Lossless - There is no lost in files  Higher reso. PSD and TIFF does not change or lost files
Lossy - suitable for emailing

PSD - High Resolution (Layered)
TIFF - Flat Image (Not Layered)

Movie Formats

Mp4 -

Avi - High Resolution

3gp - Use for mobiles

mov -

Mpeg - 

Flv - 

Mkv - High  resolution files (High Definition)

Etc.

Audio Formats

Mp3

wav

aac

ogg

midi

wma

Etc.

Baseline standard optimize

Progressive Jpeg - From pixelated image to the full image resolution Has the Psychological advantage for web

Raxels -> Pixels -> Bitmap


Vector - Resolution independent made up of lines ( if it is zoom t doe not pixelate)

 Every line is just point connected with an angle of a curve, a vector. that way you can scale them to the size of the line is just point connected with an angle of a curve, a vector. That way you can scale them to the size of the moon and you won't lose a single detail. if a curve is closed (both ends join) then you can fill it with a color.

Smart object - converts a pixel base ( have the behavior of the vector) refers to the original file but still raster
A Raster image is made up of pixels (little squares) with a numerical value for their color. all the squares are the same size and places in a grid pattern. Each one needs at least three numbers (for RGB) to calculate it's color (4 for cmyk and 1 number for 8 bit color like a gif)

Raster images cannot be scaled up in size because they will look pixelated when printed and files that are high enough resolution for the printing process are usually very large. we use these for photographs or completed files when we can output a raster image at exactly the size required fir printing.

as a vector any colors can be assigned to the curves, including rgb, cmyk and spot colors.

Color space

Understanding the concept

A wide range of colors can be created by the subtractive primary colors of pigment (cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K),.

1. Lab Color Space (CIELAB, LAB, L*A*B)   - Color space defined by the CIE, based on one channel for Luminance (lightness) (L) and two color channels (a and b). This color space is better suited to many digital image manipulations than the RGB space, which is typically used in image editing programs. For example, the Lab space is useful for sharpening images and the removing artifacts in JPEG images or in images from digital cameras and scanners.

ProPhoto RGB is just about the widest color space.  It's used by photographers.

As some noted authors and celebrities like to put it, "ProPhoto RGB is the only color space real men use".

 It contains many, many, MANY more colors than you can see on any monitor, it even encompasses what can only be termed "theoretical colors" because they're outside the visible color range in the physical world.

The Adobe RGB (1998) profile has been widely adopted as a working space because it provides a relatively large and balanced color gamut that can be easily repurposed for reproduction on a variety of devices.

sRGB - Smaller than Adobe RGB (1998)  it is used in websites

CMYK - K- is black meaning Kelvin , use in Printing 

Contrast - Contrast in size, color, shapes

Repetition - inuulit niya yung mga bagay sa isang page

Alignment - Alignment of a text

Proximity - Distance
