Contrast and shadow fill

Again the idea here is to experiment with a still life with the light to the left at the level of the object and at right angles to the camera's view to see the impact of different approaches on contrast and shadow fill.The light and the camera remained unchanged throughout the series of photographs. The images are in order of contrast :




P395: f5.6 @ 1/6 ISO 100 24mm

In the above image ( P395), the shiny side of the foil replaced the dull version and produced the greatest difference.



P397 : f5.6 @ 1/6 ISO 100 24mm

Lastly, for the final image taken , ( P397 ), I crumpled the shiny foil, then smoothed it out and place it against the reflector






P394: f5.6 @ 1/8 ISO 100 24mm

For P394 above I covered the white reflector with some foil ( the dull surface facing the object



P393: f5.6 @ 1/5 ISO 100 24mm

The white reflector was moved half way towards the object in P393



P392: f5.6 @ 1/4sec ISO 100 24mm

In P392 above a white reflector has been placed three feet away from the object on the side opposite to the light and facing it.



P391: f5.6 @ 1/6sec ISO 100 24mm with a diffuser




P390 : f5.6 @ 1 sec  ISO 100 24mm without a diffuser
