Exercise 39 Contrast and Shadow Fill. Part I

I will post this exercise in two parts. 


In the first half of the exercise, I will start with a still life setting with fixed camera and light source location, then I adjust the distance of the reflector. 


It is hard to see the difference unless you look at the images side to side (in lightroom library). There is a graduate change in brightness, but it is hard to see if you are going to view the image sequentially. Therefore, I would like to start with the observation:


1) If you add a reflector, the left side of the subject gets the reflected light and appears brighter


2) The closer you get, the brighter the left side. However, 20cm, 30cm make little difference compare to no reflector at all.


Here is the set of the images with white card at different location. The light source is a flash with a softbox on the right hand side of the image.


1) No white card


2) White card on the left hand side 30cm away



3) White card on the left hand side 20cm away


4) White card on the left hand side 10cm away


5) White card on the left hand side as close to the subject as possible
