My Self Portrait

This is my ides for my self portrait

Last Week Exhibition

What I did was dress up according to the chosen subjects for four days of the week, we left out Monday because we weren't in on that day, Tuesday was Neon Day, I chose to wear an Indian Jumper, I really stood out like a sore thumb on that day.

Wednesday was Mad Hat Day so I wore a mad top hat, I lookedlike the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

Thursday was Random Day, it means that you get to dress in anything you want, I chose my old Deerswood school uniform, it felt like taking a trip down memory lane.

Friday was Superheroes and Villians Day, I really had a field day when I chose to dress as the fourth Doctor Who, Tome Baker, Doctor Who was a big supporter of Children in Need so it was a big deal for me.

I took no photos, I've just been posing all the time in my chosen costumes.

The studio setup was near the window of the fourth floor of the Tower Block for Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, we covered the windows with pieces of paper with huge letters saying, Neon Tuesday, Mad Hat Wednesday and Random Thursday, but on Friday the studio setup was in the foyer of the Tower Block, it was very gloomy outside and slightly dark so it was the best background to take photos inside.

Studio Lighting

Shadow Light: how to get rid of shadows.

Deflecting: Deflecting the light with a deflector to the model if dark, they use a redhead spotlight.
A Deflector is a white circle that expells the shadows from your face, but it can be a white piece of paper if you want.
Daylight Filter can be created by the studio lighting with a blue plastic card covering it up, this is called the In Fill Light.

The source of light is where the light is coming from, like for example, if you want natural light then you want it from the sun, but if you want artificial light, then studio lighting is the answer.

World Upside Down3

This is a tree with all the colours of November's bonfire, it's red leaves with tiny patches of orange and yellow brings out the wonder of Guy Fawke's endevour to blow up the Houses of Parliment.

I spotted this picture right way because the colours of autumn stood out with the green trees behind it.
It only took couple of minutes to take this photo.

World Upside Down2

This is a landscape Garden with a concrete building behind it, without the urban part, it would have a remarking resemblance of a Greek Garden.
It took a couple of minutes to take this photo, I also walked around the gardens to search for the best pictures.

world upside down

This is a picture of a huge christmas tree with tropicl trees surrounding it, it's beautiful to see in the centre of the Memorial Garden.
It took me a couple of minutes to take that photo, but it took twenty minutes to take photos in the Memorial Garden.
