I took these pictures to fulfill a night and light project. We were to do a couple different techniques using the camera and different shutter speeds. The first image has light shining on the snow from the cars that were turning by the tree. I liked the look of it. The second image is the same place but you can see the car lights driving through the image. It looks cool, but I like the look of the first image better. I slightly lightened both of the images using levels. I really liked the colors and the texture of the dwindling flame picture. This image is straight from the camera with no additional edits. I like the burning color in the head of the match and the light of the flame. Highlighted was taken in my bathroom. It is the shower curtain lit up by the light of my cell phone. I thought it looked kinda neat how I just highlighted one are. Loopy was taken in the same area. I moved the light of my cell phone around to capture the movement. I liked the light and the colors from the phone so I used it again for the next image. I place my phone on the ground and moved my camera around. The same technique was used with the last image as well. I move the camera as I was lighting matches. The shutter speed was pretty quick but still able to capture the moment right before the flame was fully lighted.
