My Photos - Hairstyles (Lighting III)

This is my angle shot. The light was coming from behind the subject so the light highlights her hair in the back. And because the light was behind, there are slight shadows created on her face. With the sunlight, the texture of the hair stands out more and you can see individual strands and waves. Though I think I could have added a little more time but I was afraid her face would get too dark.

Hair #2

Test Strip

• 1, 2, 3, 4 seconds
• AP 5.6

This is my print with two subjects. I wanted to show the contrasting straight and curly hair. So I chose two people with similar hair color, but completely different types of hair.

Hair #3

• AP 5.6

Test Strip

• 3 seconds
• AP 5.6

This photo is slightly unfocus in the center of her hair which is annoying because it takes away from the effect of it being the main subject of the photo. It was a slightly overcast day and I was in a shadowed area so you can not see much of the available light. But the light does do enough to differenciate between the tree in the background and her hair and also show the detail of her curly hair.
