2. What does reflecting light mean?
• Reflection is defined as the bouncing back of a ray of light into the
same medium, when it strikes a surface.
• It occurs on almost all surfaces - some reflect a major fraction of the
incident light.
• Others reflect only a part of it, while absorb the rest.

3. A found example
• There is a dark shadow on her • There is much more light on the neck

above blocking light. • With a reflector the top becomes lighter.
• The light
reflecting is
filling the dark
areas of the
previous photo.

5. my example
How I used a home-made light reflector:
• I took a laminated piece of paper.
• I wrapped the paper in tinfoil.
• I then held the paper up next to the subject.
• The tinfoil reflected the light in the room onto the subject.

6. my example - Before
Without Reflector
• As there was no
reflector used a
shadow was created
where the light from
above couldn’t reach.

7. my example - After
With Reflector
• In order to reduce the
shadow on the side of
the object I used a
reflector to reflect the
light on the side that
was not hit directly by
the light.

8. Shutter speed- motion blur definition
• Type 1:
If the subject of your photo is not moving, or you want to show the passage of time (with a
running river or waterfall), then you can use a slower shutter speed.
• Type 2:
When the subject in the photo is moving it then becomes blurred and the background stays
the same.

9. A found example
• When the shutter
speed increases you
can almost see the pear
in motion.
• The movement is made
visible within a a still
photograph.
• This is done through
the blurring of the
image.

10. A found example
Fast Shutter Speed:
• Each water
droplet is made
visible to the
human eye.

11. my example
Type 1:
• Because the person is
in motion they have
become so blurred • The background is
out that they are not as blurred
hardly visible. because the camera
is not moving along
with the person.

12. my example
Type 2:
When the camera follows the moving
person the background becomes blurred
and they are much more visible.

13. my example - Before
Slow Shutter Speed:
• With a slow shutter speed
the camera is only able to
capture a limited amount of
movement thus reducing a
blur in the image.

14. my example - After
Fast Shutter Speed:
• When the shutter speed
time is decreased to 0.5
seconds the image
becomes blurry as the
camera is picking up every
movement.

images to the device.

16. Composition – Framing definition
• Framing is using objects in the picture to create a frame around the
subject.
• This is a good way to make a photograph look interesting and draw
attention to the subject.
• The most basic trick to good composition is called the rule of thirds.

17. A found example
Bad Framing
• Far too much empty space makes the
picture appear awkward an not
appealing to the eye.
• The head of this person
has been cut off due to
poor framing.

18. A found example
Good Framing
• The people are in the centre of
the frame which stops anything
being cut off e.g. their heads or
arms.

19. my example
Bad Framing
• Empty and
awkward
• Because the framing is so spacing.
poor, the eye is unable to
focus on anything in the
scenery.
• This makes the photo
unappealing to look at
despite the setting.

20. my example
Good Framing
• The flowers are placed
exactly in the centre of • Because they are in
the frame. the centre the photo
is more attractive and
appealing as this
makes it easier for
the eye to focus on
the object.

21. my example - Before
• Empty and
awkward • The edge of
spacing. the picture is
cut off.
• The poor framing doesn’t allow the eye to
comfortably focus on the object.

22. my example - After
• The picture is now in the
centre of the frame
allowing you to focus on it.
• There is no awkward
space to take away focus.
