The Sunday Challenge - Get Personal!
I used the "High Key" setting in my camera. My first try with "High Key" photography (not sure if it is true "High Key" or not.)
This beer stein/music box has been in my family since the 1950s. My parents got it when they were living in England. It was always on the mantel or book shelf while I was growing up and it was a treat when my mom would get it down and play it for us. I always loved the pretty tune that it played, but never knew what it was.
Fast forward many years and my mom gives this stein to me as a gift since I was always so fond of it. I was re learning to play the flute at the time and one day I found this "Emperor Waltz" music in my flute book. Not having a lot of exposure to classical music I didn't recognize it. I thought "I'll try this one." As I started to work my way through the song I was pleasantly surprised to realize it was the tune from the old beer stein. A beautiful and famous waltz by Johann Strauss named Kaiser-Waltzer Op. 437. You can listen to it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=itbcAQ4jqXs
And if you would like to watch the entire piece performed by the incredible André Rieu and his orchestra just click here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBLaMmxyibE

High-key:
- Dark sharp shadows are your enemy. Get rid of the shadows by using light, and some more light!
- Avoid high contrasts.
- Use reflectors and diffusers to get the light evenly scattered around the setting.
- Utilize overcast weather when shooting out.
- Use and photograph items that are already light (color) because then the items work as reflectors themselves, diffusing the light around them.
- Consider over exposing because light meter easily gives you false results, confused by all the bright lights used =P
- If the camera software allows you to adjust in-camera contrast, then adjust it to very low contrast. Choose low contrast films on film cameras.
- On post processing (or in camera software) try using "softening techniques".
Low-key:
- Shadows are your friend! Let the darkness swallow the items on your setting.
- Seek high contrasts.
- Utilize sharp and narrow spotlights to pick up details.
- Use dark, black surfaces to avoid reflected light. Large white surfaces are your enemy! >=D
- Photograph items that are already dark in color.
- Consider under exposing because the light meter easily over exposes when shooting overly dark settings.
- If the camera software allows you to adjust in-camera contrast, then adjust it to very high contrast. Choose high contrast films on film cameras.
But to come up with something creative, break against these suggestions! =D
