Exercise: Concentrating Light

For this exercise, i experimented with concentrating the light. I set up a scene and fixed a light by camera facing the scene. with a piece of black card i held it between the light and the scene, the block the light from hitting certain areas. I was able to move this card a round so the light hit only different parts in each photograph.

Only the very slightest part of the left side of the light is covered, so the light stops at the edge of the table.

Here i placed the card in front of the laptop, so only what was behind it would be lit up

I then moved the card to the opposite side, so the contents behind the laptop was in the dark this time.

I cover the laptop again here, but moved the card further away from the light, so more of the scene would be hidden in shadows.

I covered all but the edge of the scene with the card here
