We said that the photograph was light. And the play of light and shadow, which provided, highlight the textures and volumes.

What's more, yesterday spoke only of light and shadow, now talk about "Quality of Light"

I forgive thoughtful treatises on technical subjects, of which on the other hand, I have pajolera idea, songs like "color temperature" and "White Balance", and I ask you to contemplate these photos:

this is a

and the other

Two models, both in similar positions, both immensely attractive (since there was "fuckable" but it's ugly, and may even be some woman who comes to these pages, but if I continue, understand that pleasure is pleasure, not distinguished).

But there is one major difference ...

What attracts you most? What seems more loving, more open, closer?

Well, that difference is not the model, there is the pose (although the nipples point in the second, as if he had cum, also involved Is the color.

The first photo says "leave me alone!"

The second picture says: "fuck me"

The first photo has a light cold, hospital, while the second is a cry of pleasure. Hence the title of this post, Eros and Thanatos.

Another example:

Two photos, taken one after another, one with natural lighting, the other with a stroke of flash. I put the first, very small, not wanting to offend, the two are complete (and Full HD ) In the Secret Cabinet

The first photograph has warm lighting, imagine a room, the fire burning (it was in June, in the austral winter), the couple who had been doing cuddling with a drink by the fireplace, while Kenny G sounded, and is making love, slowly, barely move, savoring the moment. And the photographer behind a curtain, silent, I spy. Titanic theme sounds on the saxophone of Kenny G.

Note also the inverted heart-shaped frame his legs against the dark background is her body, again giving depth to sex, volume of photography, but mostly, somewhat obscuring the essential mystery, his body in her body. One can imagine what is happening, but you do not.

The second photo is hardcore porn magazine. There is all the hairs that have just come out, the redness of some previous brush, all anatomy ...

They look like two actors who are charging: lights, camera, action, Open legs, lamb, which we're late! It looks like a show for the voyeur or Siquieros enjoyed. And the photographer, as a fly, spinning around.

Well, that

Eros

Thanatos

But I give you my word that both the photographer was the same (ie, me), was located in the same place, and more excited than a child on the last day of class.

After the examples, let's technique:

First, as we saw yesterday, turn the flash

Second, to warm a whole, seek warm lighting, sunlight or halogen light bulbs of a lifetime

Third, for the most experienced, look in the menu of your machine: "White Balance", which take away from "Auto", and you put the one that corresponds to the type of lighting that you have (Solar, incandescent, etc.).

And for the very experienced, and if allowed by your machine, there is the possibility of "bracketing" the white balance. Braqueting is take several pictures (usually 3, but may be more) in which the machine automatically varies one parameter - may be the speed may be the opening may be the white balance -.

So You select bracketing, and you will see the picture as repeated, but slightly different, because the machine has changed the white balance. You choose one, what else you like.

And if you want, you send me the result.

Taking pictures is to capture light. Is this right away ... just look at this photo:

is a picture of "natural", that seems easy, anyone could do, though, well thought out, if they had the model I do not think that had the head for the photo, of course, never enough admire the work of photographers killed.

Observe the rays of the sun on his back and his left hand. Take away the imagination and you will see a very flat picture.

Well those are the plays of light that we seek. The human body has a surface and a volume that we all know. We must "break" in some way, we shock the viewer out of the routine.

And for that, first thing to do is turn off the flash.

And second, think about the photo, the effect we seek. The picture is no longer the "memory of a moment." The photo is now an end in itself. We took the photo not to remember we were in the Plaza Mayor of Valladolid, we took the picture because in the Plaza Mayor of Valladolid sun filtered through the arcades.

And if, as not all photos "will be fine," the there will be black women, there will be whites, there will be moved. But there will be good.

So, off the flash, killing the shadows, and if you kill the shadow play of light kills, kills the relief, leaving white areas of skin without any interest that the memory of the moment. If you want to see the face of Aunt Filomena Luisito's wedding if it is better to have the flash, but if what you want is to photograph your loved one, apagadlo.

Another example lights and shadows playing

Now imagine this same picture with a flash on the camera (if the flash is dangerous in the chamber is a murderer), slash black now has the arm to the hip, black stripe that highlights the chest on one side and back and ass on the other, be transformed into a lighted area, leaving the shadow tits and ass!

So, first recommendation, grab the camera, flash off, you become close to a window, and I fotografiais hand, for example, the arm (arm hair, the sun may be perfect), watching the skin in front the lens is dark. As the photo above model here.

For example, imagine the sun coming through the window and hits a chair. Put on the armrest arm, and we have: sun at the top, upper arm in the sun, bottom of the shade. We put the camera so that the center of the photo out in the shade. For the transition zone of light shade of the arm is what we seek. It can be good or not, but testing will see. The machine will beep possibly nervous, say you want flash, which will threaten to move ... no case. Throw the photo shoot at one, five, ten, fifty. Moving the camera around the arm, turning the angle changing and taking a picture of every bit. It is not just being fifty photos, we do not like the delete.

Another exercise is to try to play with shadows and lights on the body, like the first photo. For this we need a store of sheets, Luxaflex type (so called or called in Spain). If you have the perfect photo shoot the couple's nap time, his body alternately in light and shadow. Eye stripes across, not perpendicular to the body, we are photographing a person not a zebra!

And if you have no store, but you have shade, also serves. Let go a streak of light that illuminates the breasts or the ass (well, or arm, or back, or eye, an ear, which has transparency).
