Low Key Portrait


This low key photograph has high contrast with bright whites and dark blacks. It creates intense shadows with shadows and highlights. I like this one better than high key because these portraits are more dramatic than high key.

High Key Portrait


There's not much contrast in this photograph making it a high key photograph. THe gray scale tends to stay in the middle with even lighting.

"typewriter"


This picture is pretty snazzy the way the water is all blurred, but the typewriter remains completely in focus. The juxtaposition of the two objects works well together becuase one is strictly nature while the other is man-made.

Pinhole How-To's

http://www.rednotebook.org/pics/pinhole/index.html

I thought this little article was extremely helpful with understanding not only how pinhoel photography works, but also the basic principles of it. They give examples of great pinhole photos and a history about pinhole photography throughout the article without completely making the whole article about the history. They take several examples of modern pinhole photographers today along with several from when it first came out into the market. The writer of the article is clearly in love with the meaning and concepts of pinhole photography because he explains how pinhole photos can come out in any unusual way without you expecting it. Then, they go on to explain that it is exciting to see the final results of the photograph. The article definately helped me with explaining how pinhole photography works and the basic concepts with it.

Pinhole 2


I thought this was a nice representation for a pinhole photograph. The perspective compared to the wooden house is unusal with the blurred wooden planks. The clouds at the top make a nice effect like time is passing.

Pinhole

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool with the warped perspective.
