Turned our first assignment in today. Had some issues with the beginnings of this one, but I think it worked out alright. Our project was to photograph an object from different angles and with various views of depth of field. I picked a metal and glass lantern from my house that I really like. I thought it would make an interesting piece to photograph since parts of it allow light to pass through. Initially, the days and times I had set aside for this project all ended up not working out. The entire weekend was very cloudy, windy and rainy. I ended up squeezing in some time to shoot on a day I hadn’t planned on shooting, just because the sun finally came out again. I really needed the sun to be bright for the lamp to glow the way I wanted it to. I shot several days at dusk because the sun was nice and low and created some really nice effects with the glass.
This is one of the shots from where I was experimenting with the setting sun creating a backlit photo. I used a larger aperture to create the shallowest depth of field I could to keep the focus on the designs on the glass.
