Photography light experiment 1

All pictures taken with white background, 14 f stops, 200 ISO and 1/125 shutter speed (unless stated otherwise)
The aim is to simply see what effects are caused by light change, to make for a more interesting portrait.

our hand made black out gel,  F stops7, ISO 120, shutter speed 1/125

All the photos are unedited and in a raw state, the next stage of this experiment would be to move on to editing, and work with the saturation and contrast control etc.
This exercise has gave me more confidence to work with different, possibly unusual lighting techniques. More experiments to follow.
