Homework Assignment Week 5 - Indoor Lighting

This week was a bit of a struggle for me.  The lighting in my house isn't the greatest and the windows that i do have good lighting coming through have blinds on them that can't be raised so I have shadows from the slats on everything.  I did manage to get a picture of my youngest daughter that I think turned out pretty good.  I had her stand in the doorway facing the window that was about 10 feet across the room.  I know that my shutter speed is lower than it should be but I wanted to keep the ISO @ 400.  Since she was facing the window I didn't have any shadowing and my walls and door frame are white so I had the natural reflectors.

ISO - 400

Aperture - f/4

Shutter Speed 1/50

This next picture I had her stand in the front doorway to get her silhouette.  I had my aperture down as low as it could go and still couldn't get the background to blur any so the cars that are parked across the street are a bit of a distraction.

ISO - 400

Aperture - f/4

Shutter Speed 1/4000



 

I didn't get a still life.....SORRY!
