Assignment # 4 High key/Low key take 2

Ok here are the prints for high key/low key take 2. I can't really remember which print I ended up using for them, so they might not be as good as the prints I turned in. The assignment is only for two pictures, and to talk about them. Both of mine are high key, because while I did shoot low key I didn't get any I was very pleased with.

The first one is of saltines. I like this one a lot more than I expected to. I had to bring up the exposure a bit because I was doing it without a tripod, and so I had to go to a low time for it to be in focus. I love the crinkles in the wrapper, and the crumbs along the paper. I was actually eating these, and just looked down and decided to take a picture because it was a good high key and had beautiful light. I was looking from picture to picture after bracketing, and the number of crackers was getting smaller because I would eat a cracker between each picture. But I love this picture, and am glad I had my camera with me.



This is actually a literal redo, as I used bbs in my bathtub last time too. I zoomed in this time, focused, and bracketed more to the light end so that I could get a more natural shot without a ton of touch-ups. I had to pull up the black a tiny bit to get the shadows around the bbs, and the awesome reflection on the inside of the cup on the far left. Overall, I think I did better this time around, largely because I took more time to bracket.
