thanksgiving cellphone assignment

I will take pictures of food.

some pictures of family.

some pictures of friends.

And some nature views.

During thanksgiving break , I would like to take pictures on a variety topics. Nature objects would be one of my topics. After thanksgiving, every plants will be in different looking. I want to capture some fall views before the winter actually arrived. food is another interesting topic. Thanksgiving dinner is a tradition family event. I want to record the unforgettable dinner. Shopping on black friday is the most exciting event among the entire break. Although I am not going to shop a lot, I still want to document some activities I did. The rest of the pictures, I will keep them on random topics. Sometimes the most satisfied pictures are shot on unprepared moments. I am looking forward to that.

Lighting

Back light:
Backlight photography consist of doing what almost every digital camera manual will tell you not to do… Placing the light source behind the subject. Using such photography technique will trick the camera light sensor into believing that the light source is strong while in fact the subject being photographed has less light than it’s surrounding.

Fill light :The light that makes the "shadow side" of things visible, called fill light. In photography we define the fill light as one not creating any (as few as possible) visible shadows.

Hair lighthref="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CTEMP%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData">

A hair light is usually a small lighting unit placed on a boom so it shines down from above and behind the subject. It is used to lighten the hair (or hat) and shoulders, add detail to the hair, and separate the subject from the background, presenting the illustration.

Key light: the key light is usually placed to one side of the subject's face, between 30 and 60 degrees off center and a bit higher than eye level. The key light is the brightest light in the lighting plan.

color temperature/describe: Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, video-graphy, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, and other fields. The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that light source.
