NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY.
These three photos were my favorite night shots I took. For light sources I used my deck light, a street light, and a lamp. In 1 and 3 the actual light source was in the picture giving it high contrast between shadows and bright parts of the picture, while in 2 the light source is a street light above the picture giving off only enough light to see the general idea of what is going on in the picture. The high contrast in pictures 1 and 3 makes them more dramatic, while the darkness with only a soft light in picture 3 makes it more mysterious. The dramatic lighting in picture 3 makes my sister's laughter seem especially emotional. Picture 1 is at my house, picture 2 on my street, and picture 3 at a hotel. The lack of contrast, soft lighting, and location in picture 2 make it more mysterious as to who is sitting in the street and why. All three pictures were taken late at night, 9-10ish.
