Prompt Shoot #1

METAL

This photo and the following one symbolize "metal." Metal can be associated with anger and fear, which are two emotions the sculpture expresses. The light coming from the left gives the picture a sense of motion, it seems like it is pushing the prop forwards and to the right. I dislike the black blob in the bottom right corner, and would move it if I were to retake this image. 

METAL 2

The prop looks into the distance but not at the camera, which makes for an interesting image. This picture would be very static if it wasn't for the Dutch angle. I should have taken the photo from a higher angle to make the overall feel of the picture more dramatic, which would better display "metal." 

BOWIE

A lot of kids eat lunch at these tables, and of course the kids that sit there go to Bowie. The shadows from the two chairs look messy, so I should have taken the photo from a different angle to achieve a cleaner effect. My camera has a setting where I can "shoot low-key photos," so I chose that to make the photograph look clean and dark. This way, the contrast of the light and shadows are dramatic.

SQUARE

Several squares and rectangles appear in this photograph of a metal chair. I don't like the shadow of the tree leaves in the back of the image because it distracts from the centre point of my picture. The chair could not have been moved back any farther because it was attached to a chain. I could have stood on another chair and take the photo from above and behind, but I do not know if the shadows from the chair would look as nice from a different angle. 

HAPPY

To me, plants are happy looking little things because of their green colour and their somewhat droopy leaves. This image is low contrast, which I enjoy because instead of being drawn to one point in the image, you are looking at the entire picture. The date stamp in the bottom corner gives the picture a more "retro" vibe, and the orange looks great with all the green shades.
