Advanced Techniques: 1st Assignment. Copy Stand and Meter Calibration.

For the copy test part of the assignment we had to find two photographs and with a with a white balance setting of tungsten, take a photo of each image. One image had to express emotions through lighting and the other photo was "stump the chump". This means that I couldn't figure out how the photographer lit the photo, so we try and "stump" our teacher with it.

Stump The Chump Select

I chose this photo because the light that reflects off the rain and certain parts of his body confused me.

The second part of this assignment was using the daylight and tungsten white balance settings in a variety of lighting conditions.
