12. Sound - Revised

12. Sound

I tried to put the little mechanical bandleader into focus as the rest of the carousel moved. I thought he symbolized the sound of the carousel, as well as the laughing children on the ride.

Time: 7:00PM

Location: Logansport, IN

Light situation: Inside, lit by skylights

Exposure: AEB

Mode: AV

Zoom: 18mm

Photoshop edits:

I cropped the gate out of the photo, taking care to maintain the bandleader as the center focus. I used the Magnetic Lasso tool to select some of the areas with too much light and reduced the brightness. I also used the Magnetic Lasso tool to adjust the brightness and contrast of the bandleader.

Compositional elements used:

Contrast

Framing

Repetition
