After a week off from classes because of the snow, I was eager to start classes again. Today we started Introduction to Light with Michael Cunningham. We talked about the difference about ambient/available light and continuous/hot light and how to use a light meter to measure the amount of light falling on a subject. We then went to a area with lots of windows to shoot in available light. While shooting in ambient/available light, Michael showed us how to use reflectors to bounce light back into a subject to give it more light. After taking turns shooting our classmates we went into the studio to shoot with continuous/hot light. There were several stations setup where we could shoot various objects and students.
