Photo Assignment for the Week: 5/14 - 5/21

edited May 22, 2004 in The Dgrin Challenges
Here's your photo assignment for this week: Bright light.

  • As always, photos must be fresh - taken this week, not stuff you've got hanging around on your computer.
  • Bright light should be the primary focal point of your image. The challenge is in not blowing out the highlights or losing detail in the shadows.
You are encouraged to use your submissions for Cletus' weekly Digital Darkroom Challenge.



Note: please title each submission, as we're going to start a poll at the end of the assignment period and ask people to vote for the best image.
Good luck and have at it!

    Easy! I sat the CD down on the floor in a square of sunshine and I just angled the camera to where a full spectrum was visible. I used a Nikon D1X with a 35-70 mm zoom in macro. Manual exposure of 1/5000 at f5.6.

    That's really cool, what is it?
    Maybe we should have a "can you guess what it is yet" (in my best Rolf Harris accent) assignment.

    It is the light diffuser from the lamp beside the bed .
    I removed the shade and diffuser and put the diffuser vertical beside the bulb.

    Hand held the camera on macro.

    Blend overlay- Color balance -bump saturation 20%, unsharpen mask.
