Here’s a practical example for you to get started with low-key lighting photography. Use a black background and style your subject in black or dark clothing or props. Then, find the correct camera settings so that you get a completely black photograph when you shoot without the flash. Onc...
Description: Low-key is a term that describes images that are dark and contain few highlight areas. The main use of low-key lighting as a creative visual tool is to accentuate the shape and contour of a subject, by leaving additional lighting (fill light, for example) at a bare minimum...
Again, this only works when shooting raw. By changing ISO, basically all you do is change the preview image and thus your behavior in lighting and exposure. Maybe an easier example: You light a low key scene at ISO 400 and T2. Now you change ISO to 800. The image gets 1 stop too...
These advancements enable action cameras to capture better quality footage in challenging lighting conditions, even in the absence of external lighting sources. For example, DJI’s latest Osmo Action 4 camera comes with a 1/1.3″ image sensor and a 2.4μm pixel size (the bigger the pixel size...
a novel yet simple method for low-light image enhancement has been proposed without any learning procedure. The key idea of the proposed method is to estimate properties of the scene illumination both in global and local manner by exploiting the diffusion pyramid with residuals. Specifically, the ...
Illumination: Avoid mid-day lighting and / or back-lit scenes. In either cases, especially while shooting landscapes with the sky included, which is what we do most of the time, the sky gets exposed one or two stops brighter than the landscape itself and as a result, pulls the observer’...
Asus allowed me to create a really nice and convincing full white setup, thanks also to the backlighting of the products. The setup consists of the ROG Moonstone ACE L tempered glass mat, which makes the mouse glide incredibly smoothly, the ROG Falchion ACE low profile keyboard, which is ve...
As soon as you’ve taken a few shots, peek at the back of your camera and see what you think. How is the exposure? The composition? The sharpness? The lighting? Consider what you might change to make the image better, and reshoot until the image you want is captured. Over time, you...
This section provides empirical analysis and highlights some key challenges in deep learning-based LLIE. To facilitate the analysis, we propose a low-light image and video dataset to examine the performance of different solutions. We also develop the first online platform, where the results of LLIE...
Low-key lighting will add drama to your photos and a cinematic quality to your films. For example, in the picture below, the subject is completely isolated from the background. By controlling the environment's lighting, the artist has created a scene full of dramatic tension. Low-key lightin...
