4.3 – The Beauty of Artificial Light

Exercise 4.3
Capture ‘the beauty of artificial light’ in a short sequence of shots (‘beauty’ is, of
course, a subjective term). The correct white balance setting will be important; this
can get tricky –but interesting – if there are mixed light sources of different colour
temperatures in the same shot. You can shoot indoors or outside but the light should
be ambient rather than camera flash. Add the sequence to your learning log. In your
notes try to describe the difference in the quality of light from the daylight shots in
Exercise 4.2.

a selection of images taken indoors using only ambient lighting from the room.  All were taken using a tripod and longer shutter speeds.

The SOOC shots have a warmer yellower light caused by the lamp lights in the room.  There was no other natural light. I took each of the following images and adjusted only the white balance on each.This gives an idea of the difference in colour temperature between taken these images in daylight and artificial light.  

When looking at the scene myself, I would say I saw something in between the two.
