Opening Paragraph: For this assignment, I chose to shoot still life. I found different objects around the house (toys, decorations, etc) and tested them with different arrangements and lighting until I got what I liked. I had to deal with the backgrounds of my pictures, to make sure they did not take away from the subjects. Coming up with interesting subjects and finding how to make the pictures creative was a challenge, but I think I did alright.
Best Photo:
Exposure Triangle: ISO: 1000 Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/25 | For this picture, I set up the black background and had a red laser pointer shot through the boat, which fragmented in the glass, making the red marks. I changed the vibrance to make the white light from a window turn blue. I made the background completely dark by removing the imperfections, with the exception of some light shining on the base, showing that the boat is resting on something, not just floating in the air. |
