The theme of this week was food. For my three foods I picked the first household objects that I could find and did a flash picture of them. The first picture is of an Aquafina water bottle. In the surrounding I was in there was actually light all around, but because I used the flash on my camera and the angle that I did, all of the surrounding light was blacked to. I really like how this turned out because you can see through the bottle and it leaves a very nice glare. As for the second food item, I took a balance bar out of my pantry under the same lighting in the same place as the first picture. I tried to incorporate my nails to compliment the blue aspects of the wrapper. As for the last picture I grabbed a random onion on my kitchen counter and took it with the flash again. This is my favorite picture this week because how often do you see quality pictures of onions? The purple coloring and pink nail polish greatly compliment each other with the all black background.

Technology Outside the Classroom

The theme of this week was to take pictures of technology outside of the classroom. The first picture is a close up on the apple symbol on a n apple desktop computer. This picture turned out very well for the lighting circumstances I had and I love the effect of how the silver behind the symbol flourishes a chrome color when it has that much light flashing onto it. The second picture is of a keyboard to an apple desktop computer. I took this at a side view rather than straight on because I liked how the picture gets progressively darker the further back it goes. The lighting from the flash was very bright on the beginning letters and then the shadows toward the back create a nice blur. Lastly is a picture of the rose gold iPhone 6s. The flash made the phone turn out more gold rather than showing the pink aspects but once again I like how it starts off very bright in one corner and then gets progressively darker toward the back.

Shoes

These aren't UGGly

This weeks theme was shoes being worn, or pictures of shoes. The first picture is of UGG brand boots, zoomed and focused very closely on the brand tag. I took the picture from a back angle to show the neutral color of the boots. I used the flash to get a really bright affect and close focus, making all of the surrounding very dark. The second picture is of a classmates black Nike Janoskis. I took these inside the classroom and lifted the shoe displayed in front of an apple computer and keyboard. I think both of these objects really compliment each other because of the flash reflection from the computer and the bright white on the nike symbol. For the final picture I did a blur effect on the grey UGG boot. I wanted for it to look like it was in motion while pressed up against the back locker.

Jewelry Being Worn

Wear it Loud

Wrist Wrist Wrist

This weeks theme is of jewelry being worn on people. The first picture is of my own wrist wearing a Rastaclat bracelet. When taking this picture I tried to incorporate other things such as my jacket to show something I wear on a daily basis. I used the flash on my camera to give the bracelet an even brighter look with the silver reflecting the light as well. The second picture is a self shot of my ear. This was much harder to take because of how I had to angle my face in order to crop everything else out making the diamonds the main focus in the picture. Again I used the flash on this picture so that the jewelry would sparkle and come off very bright from the light. I really like how my hair in the background has certain aspects of value to bring more attention to the picture. Lastly I took this picture of a classmates Nixon wristwatch. I took is on top of a table for a very plain background. In normal lighting the gold coloring looks very elegant and has a lot of emphasis on the lettering on the face of the watch.
