In cases where more critical attention to detail in the shadows, strongly shaded foreground object can be illuminated by reflectors. Sometimes, on the contrary, it is necessary to shade with tulle mesh with a human face, taking him up close.
Strongly contrasting scenes shooting must be carried out in black and white negative film of low sensitivity.
This film has more latitude, has less grain and gives a juicy image with well-designed small details.
Determine the interval of brightness of the object by using meter. To do this, measure the brightness of the smallest and largest division and second in the first interval are the brightness of the subject. When it is equal to or less useful latitude of film, exposure (shutter speed) is determined by the average brightness of the object. When taking pictures on a sunny day is of great importance, the timing of when the subject is illuminated by the most favorable.
Directed-diffused light when the sun is behind a thin layer of clouds, is favorable in many cases, since the interval of brightness is low and there is no need for additional illumination of shadow areas. The appointment of the light created by the diffused source, divided into painting, filling, modeling, and outline the background.
The main cut-off figure in the plot of the image, mostly objects of the first plan, created draws a light. In the case of shooting a portrait - the face of the portrayed. Draws a light is detected shape of the face, are light and color accents. In the direction relative to the shooting draws light may be the front (front), side and rear.
When shooting on location draws a, as a rule, direct sunlight or strong sunlight, partly scattered by haze. For drawing a light on the nature characterized by change its color on the state of the atmosphere and the position of the sun above the horizon.
The light that fills the space with no removable distinct shadows, called filling. When shooting on location in the fill light is created mostly cloudless blue sky and clouds of sites that reflect sunlight. However, the space is filled with removable and diffused light reflected from the earth's surface and surroundings. So when shooting on location there is a wide variety of color relations for areas illuminated top and bottom filled with light.
Modeling is the light that is - clearly simulates the shape of your subject. It plays an important role in portraits where the person seeking the modeling of forms. This also emphasizes the light tone and perspective change colors removed objects. On-location modeling light provide, as a rule, historians extra light - different kinds of reflective screen, highlight. Since the modeling light is produced by additional sources, the color can be changed using color filters or colored reflective screens and light-scattering grids.
To select the items of the first type, to distinguish them from the background light circuit, apply a contour light. It creates a veil of light, and thus emphasizes aerial perspective. On-location light contour of light create the special historians only in rare cases. More likely to use back (posterior) of sunshine.
