ISO Lighting

For this ISO/Lighting photoshoot, I took images of christmas lightings at nighttime, random objects indoors (in class), and my family's farm in the daytime. Because of the time of the year, it was easy to find lights which looked awesome at night. My family's farm is very close to my heart and I love it there, so it was easy to take pictures I love there, keeping the rules of composition in mind of course. I used leading likes and complementary colors regularly. The farm used to be a cattle farm, so it is full of large, beautiful barns that are super fun to explore. My voice shows through because there are a lot of textures I used in this shoot as well as simple pictures of the outdoors. With or without this photoshoot, I would have been out there, but this project made me see little things I've never noticed before like the dead flowers in this image. After all, one man's trash is another man's treasure. My strengths in this assignment were the indoor and the daytime photos. On the other end, I can't keep still long enough for the nighttime images because I don't have a tripod and the shutter speed must be slow. If I could change anything in this photoshoot, I would probably not limit it to 10 pictures of all three lighting situations. Instead, I would limit 30 images total, but need a minimum of 5 images of each lighting. Personally, I had a more difficult time showing myself as an artist in the indoor section.
