The purpose of the meter testing was to take a picture of a white piece of wallpaper with a stamped pattern in it and make the paper appear white while maintaining as much detail as possible. First I started by setting my camera to f/11 @ 1/45. For each frame I stepped the aperture down until I reached f/4. This is the lowest aperture setting for the lens I was using. It is a 28-70mm Sigma. For the meter testing all frames were taken a 57.0 mm.
The tungsten and daylight exploration portion of the assignment was to go out and shoot 30 frames under different white balances. I shot some frames at the Panera Bread Co. in downtown Columbia. I set my camera to the tungsten setting and started shooting. Even though it was a little dark inside the combination of tungsten light and daylight from windows made a soft environment for the camera. I did not use any of these photos for the assignment but it was nice learning and observing the light. Over Labor Day weekend I visited a reptile and exotic animal park in Missouri near Meramec Caverns. I took pictures of lizards snakes lions and tigers. For the Daylight photo requirement I choose a picture of a dog inside a jail cell at the reptile park. The dog was just inside the door getting mostly daylight and some tungsten light. For the Tungsten photo I used a picture of my friend and my dog at my house. There are four different kinds of light falling on the subject daylight from the windows, Tungsten light, neon light from a Chicago Blackhawks neon and light from a flat panel TV. All these light sources give their own highlights and shadows that make an interesting photo.
