lighting practice

file formats and lossy versus lossless

three advantages of using RAW file:
1. higher in dynamic range
2. displays highlights and shadows
3. not an image file

one disadvantage of using RAW file:
1. not as sharp

three advantages of using JPEG:
1. sharp
2. higher in contrast
3. able to be manipulated

one disadvantage of using JPEG:
1. lower in dynamic range

1. It captures all the data
2. You have control over the compression of the final image
3. Raw files are larger than JPEG, you cab convert RAW to JPEG but not the other way around
4. They need to know because RAW has a lot more flexibility and processing options when editing which is important for inspiring photographers

1. JPEG, GIF and PNG
2. Rasters uses pixels and Vector uses paths

JEPG
1. lossy
2. for color or monochrome images
3. yes

TIFF
1. it can be lossy or lossless
2. black and white images and color spaces
3. yes

three paintings to recreate

Where is the light coming from?
How can you duplicate that light?
What other non-clothing elements appear in the painting that you will need to duplicate?
What kind of angles did the painter use to compose the image?
What clothing will you need to acquire/create to duplicate the painting?
Who would be a good model?
List the details you see in the painting, specifically the things the model will be wearing, poses they will need to hold, etc?
What will be the three most difficult things to duplicate, in your opinion?













Claude Monet- Spring Flowers
1. the left from a window
2. I can duplicate the lighting by butting the flowers in front of a window
3. the color of flowers, a brow basket and the overall color
4. he took the angle with him being on the right looking a little left
5. I do not need any clothing, but i may need cloth for the table and background
6. I do not need a model
7. red, light pink,white, dirty white, dark purple, blue and orang flowers. Brown background, use of shadows are big
8. The more difficult thing to duplicate will be the shadows

Alma-Tadema- Maria Magdalena
1. It looks like the lighting is coming in front of the model but above her
2. I can maybe get a spotlight or a big flashlight with a yellow lighting
3. The hair style and jewelry
4. The angle she tok was she was standing on the right of her while the model was looking down more to the left
5. I will not be needing clothing because the angle is a little below her collar bone and theres no clothing shown
6. I think my mom might be a good one even though shes a little more dark skin than the model
7. Silver dangling earrings, red chocker, hair in a braided bun
8. The lighting

Robert Delaunay- Premier Disque
*I know it's just a circle with painting, but I was going to paint that on a face and have their mouth and eyes closed while I'm taking the photo
1. the lighting is coming from the front and its white
2. I will need to use white spotlight and have a white background
3. The color of the paint
4. He looked at it straight ahead
5. No clothing, just color of paint
6. Probably my brother or my dad
7. The different colors of paint
8. Finding a white light source and having a white background
