I learned that Aaron Siskind’s work is dark and has many shadows. It has various shapes in all sizes. I like his work because it is something that I haven’t seen before.

Introduction to strobes

-a flash head contains flash tubes that emit light once supplied with high voltages.

-going to need more power to overcome the sun or light.

-reflector slides in and out along the head’s axis and locks in position to control the spread of light.

-strobe lights allow you to completely remove the reflector.

-c-stand is strong enough to hold backgrounds and seamless white paper with the lights.

– snoots are conical shaped tools that narrow the distribution of light.

– produce a very focused/harsh light.

-soft boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

-white umbrellas offer a wider spread of reflected light.

-gold umbrellas produce warm tones

Jpeg V.S Raw

-A Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) file is a lossy raster file format that compresses an image to make the file smaller.

-A RAW file contains all the uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the sensors of a digital camera or scanner. They’re also a type of raster file format, but one that maintains lossless quality.

2. Which file is bigger? JPEG or RAW files?

-The file that is bigger are RAW files, RAW files are large since they are meant to be able to get the best quality of it so people can edit them to the best they can.  JPEG files are smaller since they aren’t used to

capture the best quality of the pictures so therefore they don’t need as much storage to contain it in.
