When I was choosing where to shoot, I wanted a location with a lot of action. The gym was a good place to catch people in the moment. The lighting in the area was garbage. This made it awkward to work with in Photoshop. The camera settings for the first image were f/7.1, 1/200, and ISO 6400. The remaining three were set to f/4.5, 1/500, and ISO 6400. Composition elements that are present in the photos are Rule of Thirds, Framing, Diagonals, and Viewpoint. Framing was present in choosing the right moment to capture the picture during all the action. Rule of Thirds is apparent in the placement of each person. Viewpoint is present through the use of the continuous shot setting on the camera.
To ensure the fill flash worked correctly, the settings on the camera and the power of the flash were adjusted to correspond with the environment, position, and model. All pictures were taken outside in some form of shade. The flash was set up on one side of the model in order to cast shadows to the other side. The camera settings were dependent on the model as they had completely different skin tones. Trial and error were used to determine whether the flash and camera were working together to fill the shadows present on the model.
