Playing With Light


For this assignment I played with different light sources and used light from flashlights and glow sticks to draw pictures. This picture of Cora was originally supposed to be her as a cat, however the tail was over-exagerated and I only had time to draw one ear. It ending up making her look more like a unicorn. I used a Nikon D3100 camera.

 20" f.22


This photo of Cora was my first attempt at using glow sticks to play with light. Although it looks blue in the picture, the glow stick was actually pink. I used it to draw a heart around Cora. She wasn't exposed to enough light to illuminate her face, therefore this picture is rather dark. I used the same camera to take this photograph as the previous one. 

15" f.22

This is my second attempt at using a glow stick to draw a heart around Cora. This time she was exposed to a brighter light source for a longer period of time, so her "kissy-face" is visible in this shot.  The shutter speed of fifteen seconds was not long enough for this picture because I am visible on the right-hand side. The shadowy figure is me drawing the hear around Cora; it took longer than originally thought to draw the heart, so the photo was taken with me in it. I once again used the same Nikon D3100 camera to take this picture.

This photograph is the most interesting one that I took. What started out as a picture of Cora with antenna like a bee, turned into a blended picture of the two of us. This occurred when I stepped in front of the camera to draw the antenna. Unfortunately the primary light source that lit up Cora's face did the same to mine, and our faces were mixed together, and the antenna was lost in the background. The same Nikon camera was used to take this picture as well.
