Not Film Noir

The Office: Not Film Noir

Over at The Digital Photography School’s forum, the weekly assignment centers on Film Noir, a technique used in films such as The Maltese Falcon. As I am not familiar with the idea behind it, I decided to test out some settings in Manual mode and see what comes of it. The end result is the photo above. Not very impressive is it? The attempt was not at the idea of Film Noir directly as lighting and mood play a large part of the scene, but the technical settings behind it. Much better examples can be found here.

I’ve owned this camera since December of 2007 and I must say that I’ve learned absolutely nothing about it. The most I have learned is how to adjust the ISO setting. This experiment is an attempt to learn it or give it up.

Camera: Nikon D40X
Exposure: 0.167 sec (1/6)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 100

Spring Time
This was the last photo taken before the string broke and the $1.00 kite flew away never to be seen again. The photo was a one handed shot taken at a focal length of 55 mm with the Nikon D40X.
