I went about a week before I shot this image but there wasn't enough light coming through the windows on the right, because the sun was setting the opposite directions. So, after figuring out that I needed to shoot around 10am I went back and photographed the kids during their swim lesson. I didn't use my flash for this photograph because the natural light coming through the windows was enough. I don't remember the shutter speed but I only shot at f/2.8.

During Small Format lab we got to practice our timing skills, while some of the guys threw a football back and forth. I shot this photo with the 300mm manual focus lens. Not much to it, just practice!
EQUIPMENT:Nikon D1H300 f/2.8 AF80-200 AFMonopod!!PROCESS:Before the game started there was really nice light over the field. So, while the team was warming up I got a few shots. When the sun started going down I tried to use the schools 285 flash, but that stupid thing wouldn't work. And it also didn't help that the camera batteries said they were charged but died shortly after I turned on the camera. But anyways, there was no flash and barely any battery power. So, thats just a reminder to make sure everything works completely before getting out there, even though you try it once, then just try it again. Better safe than sorry!

PROCESS:For practice I went to the South Asheboro Middle School football tryouts, before shooting a real football game. There were kids running all over the place catching the football. So, I got my knees dirty and practiced my timing. I shot jpeg. fine using, who knows what shutter speed in the afternoon, at only f/2.8.

For the final assignment in my Product Lighting I had to choose a product advertisement from a magazine. I chose the Milano cookie ad. I went to Walmart to purchase the background, which is a black and white wash cloth. I bought the white and black pearls at Hobby Lobby. And of course the double sided black and white cookies came from the grocery store. I placed everything out on the ground according to the photograph I saw in the magazine, because I needed the hot lights to be high to avoid shadows. I believe I shot this image using 2 hot lights. Both hot lights were about 8 feet above the objects, pointing downwards. From the refelctions in the pearls, you can see I used a scrim infront of the hot light, which is located towards lighting the right middle. The second light was placed towards the top right of the objects and I blocked off almost all light, so no flare would interfere with the image.
