I would consider this photo to be a bad painting with light photo. I don't like the way that you can see the person doing the painting under the butterfly. The photo is brighter than most of my other painting with light photos because the exposure was very long, in order for her to draw the butterfly. Also, there is a distraction in the background on the left side of the photo. 

I would consider this photo to be a good painting with light photo. The background is darker because the exposure was not very long. This makes the light stand out much more than in other photos. You cant really see the person who is doing the painting in the photo, which is a good thing. And the house in the background is hard to see which makes it easier to focus on the painting. 

Techniques: For this photo I used a shutter speed of 1/3200 so that not too much light entered into the camera, because it was very bright. I used an aperture of f/5.6 so that I could zoom in on the details of Britta's face. 

Tools: I used a DSLR camera for this photo and the backdrop is New Albany High School. 

Trials/Tribulations: At first when I was photographing Britta the photos were very dark. This could have been because she was in the shade, so I moved her into the sunlight and adjusted my settings so that she wouldn't look washed out. I think the sunlight still washed her face out a little bit. 

Techniques: For this photo I used a shutter speed of 1/60 so that more light was able to be captured. I used an aperture of f/5.6 to focus on details, and an ISO of 500. I also used an exposure bias of +2 EV, because the room was dark.

Tools: I used a DSLR camera for this photo and the background is a sheet.

Trials/Tribulations: I had trouble while shooting her inside the dark room because I couldn't get the settings right at first. Some were too dark, some were washed out. I think this photo is better than the others because her face is lit and there is not too much shadow on the side of her face, because we used both the key light and the fill light
