high key/low key































I bracketed and found it very useful, but very time consuming. It was worth it, though. I can't wait until I can see what I want/need within a few frames, then choose instead of making 20 frames and picking one in the middle grey... depending on what I shoot :) Some of these pictures are grey, but I tried making them the best I could. My favorite photo is the handcuffs (my brother's King Kong handcuffs ;) I like shooting low key more than I like shooting high key, but I think high key is easier to shoot. I like low key because the way the detail is shown in the blacks and the highlights don't dominate. High key is easier for me because the detail in it is already there, and you don't really have to define it. Over all, I really liked this assignment.

i really like the picture of the shoes, i like how within the whiteness of the picture you still have a little bit of solid black on the shoes. I also really like the one with the ring oon the book!
