I took the third picture shown here first while I was just experimenting with long exposure and night shots but I really liked it so I decided to take a couple others of the same view for this assignment. It's the view out of one of the upstairs windows in my house. The first picture is pretty plain but I like how you start to see some color in the sky in the second shot, and then I loved the headlights from the car illuminating the trees in the third.I don't think that if I hadn't taken the night shot first that I would have picked this scene to shoot for this assignment. I was just so surprised at how much I liked the night shot that I had to use it. I was actually trying to get a shot of the stars when I took it but the car came along which I think made it so much better.
The evening shot would have been better if the sun set in that direction and the color was brighter, but I kept an eye on the sky the whole afternoon and night trying to capture some better color and something a little more different from the first photo but that was the best I could come up with.
That is a very interesting series - it suggests a kind of stop-motion film type quality which is really appealing. The night shot is downright eerie.
ReplyDeleteThe night shot looks like a space ship just landed next door. You are right, the first two photos are not as interesting as the third. I like how we cannot see the car in the picture so we really do not know where the light is coming from.
ReplyDeleteI think you really show how lighting can effect a picture. The night picture is really neat.
ReplyDeleteI like the night shot the best, with the light in the background the trees stands out. nice job
