Painting with light

Henri Cartier- Bresson

I think Henri’s photos could use some color. They are very dull. His pictures are also very questioning. It seems he takes pictures of anything. He should take pictures of more outgoing things. I like how he takes pictures of sad things too though. Many photographers are photographing the happy things. His photos are very dark. He always gets the right timing in his pictures. He photographs what he likes.

Strobes

  1. There are different stands for strobes, there is a lightweight stand, and a C stand with boom arm.
  2. The two most common light modifiers are umbrellas and soft boxes.
  3. Most soft boxes are square or rectangular.
  4. If you have a wide reflector, it produces and larger pool of light.
  5. If you have a narrower reflector, it produces smaller pools of light.
  6. Some lights come with a strobe surrounded by a reflector.
  7. When you shoot outside your light needs to be brighter to beat the light of sun.
  8. The reflector on the light helps control the spread of light.
  9.  A honeycomb grid helps with a more focused spread of light.
  10. Umbrellas let light bounce off of the umbrellas onto the subject.
