1. I went on a scavenger hunt around my house in search of items I might use for this picture. It was simply crazy how many different items I played with for this photo shoot! I ended up choosing 2 silk flowers of similar color to create the monochromatic effect of different shades of burgundy. I laid the flowers on a white plastic cover and just kept shooting until I finally chose this one.
2. This photo gives a nice use of negative and positive space with the interaction of the edges and my shapes. This also draws your eye down the photo to observe the shadowing effect from the petals on the flowers. This allows the viewer to discover shapes (shadowing) that are not immediately obvious when you look at the photo. However, it is the dominance of size of the petal that really draws the viewer’s eyes into the photo. The most focused part of the petal gives the illusion of popping out at you which is validated by the shadows on the white plastic cover. I believe that the similar shapes and the monochromatic color give a very nice harmony for my photo. By combining these elements, it certainly displays an appealing and interesting aura to my photo.
3. The positioning of the objects was probably my biggest hurdle which included: how close together do I want my shapes, laying them in the middle of the cover, taking equal parts of both shapes and how much negative space do I want were all issues that played a part in this composition. I preferred the one shape off to the side with the other shape producing the dominating factor.
4. I have many pictures of this setting in a horizontal and vertical mode. I believe that it offered the best composition at a vertical angle psychologically, because it was more dynamic and active when comparing it to my horizontal photos. This photo was actually shot horizontally, but I turned it vertically after I downloaded it on my computer. I much preferred the effect of the vertical shot of this composition.
5. I tried shooting this in macro, but it did not create the look I was searching for, so I went back to manual focus. This allowed me to really zero in on the one petal to create the blurred upper part of the photo. It was taken with natural lighting coming from the large dining room window. A lot of time was spent rearranging my props and refining the focusing.
Been having a busy old day today so a quick play around with some shadows for today's theme!

I noticed my Brown Line train shadow as I headed downtown yesterday. I only had time to click off one or two shots.
Shot at night, illumination is from a streetlight. Images was several stops underexposed and "salvaged" in post.
Shadows of a large tree in the National Park, Georgetown, Guyana, South America. A man does his morning exercises in the distance.
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and

After the balloon sword fight, Laurel noticed the light shining in the window onto the wall near the stairs and made hand shadow animals for several minutes. "Look, it's a dog! Woof!"
this time nobody asked, but i thought i'd go ahead anyway and show how i do these ragged white borders. this is not the only way to do it, and is not even the only way i do it (some other variations are in my on the border set), but in case there's anybody who both cares and has not already figured it out (a narrow intersection, i'd guess), this gives the basic idea.
This is a picture of two people walking and their shadows. I like this photo because it is not super obvious that the shadows are people because they look a little funny because of the view I took the photo from.
Sometimes shadows at the Booth Art Museum seem to take on a life of their own.

Dear Diary - legs, red shoes, shadow...cooling in the reflections thrown up by the rippling shallows...the perfect place to be at the tail end of a summer's day...
The shadow from the skylight took on the image of an eagle. Taken in Terminal H of Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness, blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness, blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness, blindness and sight
Joni Mitchell
