Shadows and Silhouettes

This assignment has been one of those assignments that I slack off because I thought I would be able to finish in one day. As I began to shoot and get my work checked I came to a realization that this assignment will take more time and effort for me to get the shots I need to get approved. This assignment has made me better understand the settings of a camera and how dark I can make a photo appear.

This photo I took is a great representation of a silhouette. The figure of arch with the symbols of physical activity is my focal point. In this photo you can see that there is not much variety of color because it should only be your figure that should be dark and the background with some color. I like this photo a lot because it is cool how the symbols stand above the mountains as the sunsets.

The photo of the handrail seemed to be a lame idea but it turned out to be a great shadow. It happen to be at the right time and place to have the handrail fall upon the tree branches. The tree branches over the handrails creates a great balance.

I like this photo of the tree outside of the C building because it looks like something you might draw. The floor is like paper and the tree shadow is the drawing. The tree falls slightly off of the rule of thirds which makes the photo look better. The unity isn't that great but there is a variety of things going on.
