Basic lighting

I am yet to get a basic photography course or be enrolled in one, pero ako itong malakas ang loob dumiretso agad sa basic lighting na kung tutuusin ay isang advance course. Hindi naman ito sa isang photography school kundi initiative ng aming grupo sa Flickr, ang Flickristasindios. Hindi rin isang professor ang resource person namin, pero si Ten Paras ay master na sa pagtitimpla ng ilaw.

Pinasadahan nya ang basic terminilogies sa lighting (primary light, fill-in light, etc.) tapos nilatag naman ang practical applications ng mga ito base na rin sa mga experience nya. Of course, he still encouraged us to enroll in a photography lighting course as what he had shared with us in 2-3 hours normally take about 2-3 days of discussion. Ayos, hindi naman kami nagmamadali nyan hehehe.

Seriously, para malaman kung me natutunan ba kami syempre kailangan me application, kailangan me shoot using a one-light set-up, tapos two-lights, tapos studio shoot TAPOS ME MODEL!!! ako kinabahan dun sa huli kasi mahiyain ako di ba, pano ko kakausapin yung model? ahihihihi.

When it was already my turn to shoot, despite the intimidation and nervousness factor, i get to instruct Christine and Kaya (oo, dalawa pa yung model!!!!!!) on what I want them to do and it also helps that they are very professional and won't hesitate to do a pose that we told them to do. Tawanan nga kami kasi pagkatapos ng lighting kailangan naman namin ng seminar on how to deal with models and how to be a supermodel (kailangan naming i-pose kapag malabo sa model).

Tingnan nyo na lang kung papasa na ba sa panlasa nyo ang ilang kuha ko, one-light set up lang ang ginamit ko sa mga yan.

Halata bang hindi ako nakapagpa-pose ng marami? hehehe

Next: Model shoot in a professional studio with complete lighting accessories (nag-overheat ang brain ko kakaisip ng poses sa mga model hehe)
