Blending Light




This asignment really depended a lot on our creativity and how we wanted to give emotion to the photo. While I got some good shots at the Greek Week skits, I thought that it looked like it had been done too many times before, and the only one that I really liked was 2169. It had good motion, and the color arrangement was great.

However, following the tragic events at VA. Tech I really wanted to be at the candle light vigil. Now my select from that really doesn’t have to much light blending going on, but it is more honest of the moment that I was in. More of the panning shots made the candle streaks look un-natural to me. Plus, this shoot reminded me of the headdress person in their hotel room we looked at in class. It really shows the slow movement of the candles from one person to the next. To get this shot, I had to gel my strobe because of the very orangish tungston light given off outside of Memorial Union, and I was balencing my self on a hand rail above the crowd so getting down, and asking the main girls name was not going to happen. Especially with speakers talking about VA. Tech.
