Night Photography
So for our last photo assignment we had to mimic a style of a photography, a photographer, or etc. I decided to attempt night photography because it’s something I’ve never tried before. However, I unexpectedly didn’t finish my final project until after 3am, so technically these photos would be early morning photography, but I’ll put the technicalities aside and call it night…
When I began, I was thinking about how night photography isn’t very interesting because there aren’t any people or objects around to really incite action, reaction or interaction. However, at the same time, that means there is nothing obtrusive that could intrude a photograph.
The photos didn’t really come out too great and don’t really incite much feeling in me but that’s okay ’cause now I’ve tried, and I learned a few things..
1) There are a lot more people around Elon at 4am on a monday night than you’d expect…
2) Geese and swans go to sleep! Well I figured they sleep but I never really think about when/how animals sleep. The swans had their heads under the water, and the geese were on the land. I accidentally woke all of the geese up and I was very afraid they were going to attack me…
3) The performing arts building makes frightening noises.
4) Elon is extremely well lit at night.
5) Nothing wants to go right for me today because as I type this my camera refuses to upload the photos…
I’m not exactly sure if this blog is supposed to be updated by class time or by 5pm Tues but I’d rather be safe..plus I need to study for the final anyways. This may be my first college all nighter – Congrats J!
I think they’re still sleeping there but they may have been arising!
The arrow made a relatively dull pic a little more interesting
Nothing too interesting about this one but I liked the simplicity
The lights at the performing arts building created really cool reflections on the water.
It’s hard to see but I liked the effect my shadow has on the mood of the pic.
I liked the patterns in the water.
I will definitely update with titles and descriptions tomorrow! Goodnight/morning.
