My inspiration for the mixed lighting section of the Studio Lighting unit came from the upcoming holiday season. I wanted to incorporate the cold, wintery outdoor light with a warm glow that reminded me of sitting in front of the fireplace on a freezing night in December. Although unintentional, the scarf added to the holiday feeling with its soft colour and cozy material. I used a Canon Rebel T2i to take these photos with an 18-55mm lens, aperture at f8.0 and shutter speed at 1/60s. All three pictures were taken using the natural outdoor daylight and a tungsten light source from the lightbulb, which created the warmer effect. I would have liked to have done something a bit more original with this assignment, rather than the typical in-school, standing beside the window closeup on a friend's face. Next time, I would think this assignment out more and figure out what I could do to make it a bit more creative, however, I worked with what I had and am satisfied with the result. I especially like the lighting in the last photo and the noticeable difference between the glow of the lightbulb and the natural outdoor light.
gorgeous.
