What does High Key mean?
TIA, Marnie aka Doe (Never afraid to admit when I don't know/understand
something.)
High key is generally accomplished by obtaining an exposure at the high
(overexposed) end of the exposure spectrum, but not necessarily blown
out. The classic example is a nearly white shot of a forest with
freshly fallen snow, where minute differences in bright shadings
comprise the bulk of the 'feel' of the picture.
Low-key is the opposite. Think of a portrait of a person lit by
candlelight in a smokey bar, for example.
The trick is maintaining just enough detail to achieve the artistic
effect desired.
