Project Shadows

The picture on top is my reflection photo. I choose to take a picture of lipsticks because I thought it was creative. I also like the bright reds in this. I added some minor adjustments like brightening the photo and taking out some yellow as well as boosting the reds. I found the lipsticks in my mom's makeup cabinet. The exposure for this top photo was one sixth of a second. The reason it was so slow was that it was taken indoors in a bathroom.

The second picture is scissors. To me scissors have a very distinct shape so I thought it would fit the project well. I took this picture on my desk at a one thirtieth of a second. I made a few adjustment in the beginning, but I thought the picture just looked really plain. I clicked the invert button by accident while editing the picture, but I ended up liking the filter very much because it really made the shadow pop. Also, i boosted the yellow all the way and it made the whole background black. I liked this project because I liked to think about shadows and reflections when normally I see them and just pass them by.
