Seattle Central Creative Academy: Photography Assignment (Existing Light)
October 5, 2011 by 1 Comment
As part of our first assignment in Seattle Central’s 1st yr Commercial Photography program, students were asked to photograph an object using existing light; meaning no false lighting, only the sun, a reflective surface, and our innovation. I chose a feather resting in a small glass jar to represent a writer’s quill photographed as a still-life. The above image was created using a sheet of black construction paper as a seamless, with the sun at camera right and a reflector placed 90 degrees on camera left.
Location: Cal Anderson Park, Seattle, WA
Camera/Lens Specifics: Canon 5D Mark II with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
105mm, 1/60 sec at f/22, ISO 800, tripod mount.

Photo of the Day: Smith’s Sun

Walking off the Bainbridge – Seattle ferry run this morning, I noticed the sun beginning to rise behind Smith Tower, once hailed as the world’s tallest building outside New York City. But that was the beginning of the 20th century, and here she remains, still beaming in all her glory from the days she first stood.
Location: Washington State Ferry – Seattle, Washington
Camera/Lens Specifics: Canon 5D Mark II with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
105mm, 1/800 sec at f/6.3, ISO 250.
