Experimentations using light

I had taken these images during an experimental session working with different forms of light. These images where creating by lowering the shutter speed which enabled the camera to capture the speed and movement in both images. 

The light sources in these images are different the first image was taken underground in which the lighting was captured from ceiling lights which where quite dim and not as bright. This enabled my camera to capture to create a distorted almost disappearing effect of a pedestrian walking by. The lighting in the second image is of natural light drawn in from the window which is bouncing off the top of the escalator handrail into the lens. The slow shutter speed has captured the speed of the handrail moving down, as well as the light reflections appearing.

These images caught my attention most as in the first image I am intrigued at how the shutter speed and lighting contrasted together to create an appearance looking as though the pedestrian is made of sand and is being blown away by wind. The second image was one caught from an interesting angle as what the subject is doesn't come to mind from looking instantly at the photograph. I find the light appearing brightly through the back windows being the main aspect which draws in attention, and then the light flickers work downwards following the handrail which represents the speed travelling.

The use of light can enhance an atmosphere in many ways being in an positive or negative influence. A challenge was given in a group task to use an object to create a 'seductive, sexy' appearance using light. The object used was an egg, and in carrying outcome I had taken this image representing interpretations of this look. The light source was drawn from two points, underneath and from frontwards. The light from the front was blocked from behind which created the darker shadow contrasting with the lighting from beneath this created the 'seductive and sexy' persona.
