Levitation

Equipment

Equipment I used for my levitation assignment was a chair, tripod, cannon camera, SD card, and a computer that had a SD slot; photoshop; and lightroom installed on it.

• Settings for the cannon were ISO 100

• Aperture f/8.0

• Shutter speed 1/320 sec

What did you consider when deciding where you were taking your picture?

When deciding where I was taking your pictures I was looking for natural places where it was very hard to say that the picture was faked like against a wall, gate, or a tree.

These places would be hard for someone to stay that the photo is faked as with the poses that subject was doing it helped the photo look more realistic helping the effect be more believable with the natural backgrounds around the campus.

Props

Props used in my photos were people's photo passes as it make the levitating effect more believable with them floating in the air.

There is also a picture that had hula hoops in it but the picture ended up not coming out the right was so it was scrapped.

Did your picture work? If it didn't, why didn't it work 

Most pictures worked well, some that didn't were due to the fact that the camera was too far away and the pictures weren't as crisp as when the subject is closer.

Even if your picture worked well, what would try next time? 

Next time I would use more props and a more variety of different ideas in the picture an example could be someone floating on a carpet.
