After missing the deadline for this blog post by 4 days, I finally am sharing my photos for the 4th photo assignment. I missed Monday, but nevertheless, here they are. For this assignment, I initially decided to do light painting, but after several failed attempts, I decided to do a black & white set instead. This was a really cool assignment to do as it taught me to really look for the element of contrast while taking an image. My best photo, shown below, was while I was still at my house. I used white Christmas lights for this image. I randomly chose one christmas light and focus solely on it, while the lights in the background added a lot of depth and contrast to the background, really causing for a cool shot. I will say that some inspiration for this image came from the cover of the song Paris by the Chainsmokers. This set really allowed me to work with the color modifier in the Camera Raw filter. After me taking 30 photos of the lights for this set, I realized I wasn't going to have enough photos that were unique, so I went out at 9pm on Sunday night to get some more, which most likely caused me to feel very sick Monday morning, but it was worth it. I took several image of the lights around Saline and I think they turned out very well. Some of the images I may have turned down the exposure a tad too much, but I really like the vibe they give off and the feelings the overall set portrays. I can't wait to shoot my next set and hopefully be as good as this one was.
