Inanimate objects
Had an assignment recently for one of the Sunday newspaper magazines to feature some images of an art exhibition.
It was in the Crawford Art Gallery in the city, which has 2 main gallery sections, the light bright section, and the dark moody section and on the way there I was wondering which one the exhibition would be in, obviously from the point of view that more light = less work for me. Which section was it in? Yep, you got it, it had to be the dimly lit section.
Apart from some exhibits of paintings & drawings which might be interesting but are very err, flat, one of the pieces I had to get was a sculpture. At least there’s some form to that.
Two minor problems: very low light levels and the colour-balance of the lighting. This was the result of my first test shot on daylight white-balance:
Nice huh?
I tried tungsten white balance but that wasn’t exactly correct either:
so I ended up setting a custom white-balance and throwing up a flash with a white-shoot through umbrella and just giving the scene a little “pop” of flash to give some shape to the exhibit:
