MMS 173 Assignment 5b: Self-portraiture

Camera Set-up

For this task, I used my Canon M50 Mark II camera with a kit lens (15-45mm) and a tripod. I wasn't aware we had a tripod at first, so I asked some of my friends to borrow one, but then my mother mentioned that she had purchased one last year and I had no idea about it. Because the lighting was poor, I made use of my mobile gimbal and my Android phone as a flashlight instead.

For candid shot, here's what I used:

DJI Mobile Gimbal 7

iPhone 15 Pro Max

Canon m50 mark II for documentation

Headshot

I took around 40 shots in order to catch the finest shot possible, and I believe this is it; it may not be the best of the best, but it is still wonderful. Because there is little light in our home, I use two phones, one on each side, for lighting my face.

EXIF Data

I set the shutter speed to 1/60 because I'm not moving when I take the photo, the ISO to 500 because I don't need much light from my camera because I have two smartphone headlights on my face, and the aperture to f4 for a blurry background.

Post Processing

I made a few edits in my photo. I cropped it to make it on center, exposure +10, contrast +15, and brightness +25.

Candid Shot

HONDA XL 100

Capturing motorcycles has been my hobby since then; I enjoy motorcycles and motorcycling. I adore this photo because the bike I'm photographing is older than me; my father is restoring a Honda masterpiece from 1975. If you enjoy motorcycles, please like and follow my Facebook page, "Traysikel?". This page focuses solely on motorcycle photography and videography.

EXIF Data

This time, I used my cellhpone for the candid shot.

Portrait mode of iPhone (iso500, f1.8, 1/40s)

I am into cellphone photography these days when I have received this iPhone. All of the picture and videos from our page is purely captured and edited from iPhone. I believe in the power of iPhone when it comes to photography and videography that is why I used both of my camera to finish this assignment.

Post Processing

Here's the raw picture before I put a preset in adobe lightroom. Raw photo is fine but I want to enhance it more to make it dramatic photo.
