Rainbow Silhouette

rainbow in the sky

 

Dope picture my mom took a few weeks back, finally got around to editing it.  Its a picture of two rainbows, one super clear and the other slightly faint, I thought it was cool how she used the techniques I was talking about in regards to taking this picture.  The way my mom used the angle of view to her advantage in capturing the rainbow descending from the building and its faint silhouette from behind. So shouts out to mom for showcasing the eye, I know you’re reading.

 

Further Light

Three separate light in the casino.  These are regular light but what drew me to take these pictures was the design of the lights and the angle that I took them from. I kept in mind the rule of thirds when taking these pictures being that there is a lot of white space. For example, the second photo, I made sure the light was in the upper right corner because it would be bland just sitting in the middle. Being in that position create an atmosphere around the white space because of the shadow from the light. You see the bright circle around the light and the dark shadows that follows.  Everything plays a role from the light to the lines in the wall.

In the first picture, there is a lot going on for such a straight forward photo. Three things abstraction, angle of view and light and shadow. I took this picture from the bottom of the light to give of the light and shadow. I had to take this picture at the right time to show the dark areas because the actual area was bright, but when I focused it made the  surrounding area dark. The abstraction does not come from the picture itself but the mind behind the person taking it,me. If you look closely at the lines in the light it looks like a human like figure. To me, its like a spiritual type of figure.
