Studio Lighting

D700
shutter speed: 10/1250
f-stop: f/4.5
- In this photo I asked everybody to turn all the lights off and had a lower set defused light that allowed Kai's arm and chin to get highlighted. This created a creepy glow and really shows what cameras are capable of capturing.
D700
shutter speed: 10/250
f-stop: f/5
 - In this photo I tried to have a nice shadow on the wall and on Kai's face. The light was not defused, but set farther back. The light was a bit above the height of Kai's head. This create a chill sort of mellow mood that makes his hair look darker.
D700
Shutter speed: 10/500
f-stop: f/5.5
 - In this photo I have the same light setup as the one above, but I changed the angle of the camera, and defused the light. This made it so there was not as much of a shadow on Kai's face but still set a sort of creepy mood with the shadow on the wall.

The Mona Kalisa

The Mona Lisa was done by a very well known artist, Leanordo Divinci, this is probobly the most famous painting ever to be put up in a museum.

The photo that I took was of my buddy Kai. I asked him to make a funny face to add a bit of flare to the mix up.

The Mona Kalisa was from the face of my photo and the rest from thefamous Mona Lisa, It is in my personal view a great photo, I dont know if it is because my buddy madea a funny face or if since he is a guy, and he has long hair. Either way I like the photo a lot and it even shows.



The mona lisa is more so possibly the most well-known piece of painted artwork in the entire world. It was painted by the leonardo davinci, the famous Italian artist, around 1519, and is a half body commission for a woman named lisa gherardini. Her husband, francisco del giocondo requested the work by da vinci just after the turn of the century. It is perhaps the most studied piece of artwork ever known. The subjects facial expression has brought about a source of debate for centuries, as her face remains largely enigmatic in the portrait. Originally commissioned in Italy, it is now at home in the French Republic, and hangs on display in the Louvre in Paris.

M.Cruickshank Letters

This is my name in many different areas around my school.
I found all these letters and had to find a way to turn the camera to get the right angle and view.
This spells out my whole name.
