Thanksgiving Weekend

This Thanksgiving I was home for the weekend. The night before Thanksgiving it rained so when I woke up the trees, leaves, and birdfeeders around my house were covered with ice. I thought that this would make an interesting photo opportunity.

Use of Light

In class we used a flashlight to outline and bring detail to an object of our choice. I used Gumby as my model.

This was the first try.

In this picture the light was concentrated too long in one spot causing the washout effect.

This was the final picture I took. The light was being moved around causing a cool design in the background.

Shadow and Light

This photo uses light to give an interesting pattern on the ground.
