Here is another experiment with light and color. I really enjoy the variations that these pumpkins give us, and the middle pumpkin's contrast with the rest. It has a lighter orange than the rest, but the other pumpkins also have light areas that add balance and make the outer space more interesting. Similar to the last photo, I posted, I love the ambiguous space that darkness provides. The orange against it is warm and exciting, but the shapes make it spooky. Plus, it's just fun because it's HALLOWEEN TIME!!!
This is one that I appreciate more the longer I look at it. I wonder why the one pumpkin is so much brighter than the others? I also think the brighter light coming out of the holes creates an interesting contrast.
ReplyDeleteI have the same question as David in regards to the lightness of the middle pumpkin. The contrast would have been much more effective if this was taken head on, creating flat space. I like the light/color gradients that are created as the light comes through the holes. The depth works in that aspect.
ReplyDeleteContrary to the homie, I actually like the side angle of this shot. Why that pumpkin is more lit up doesn't matter to me... It just makes the image more interesting to look at. Maybe if the bright pumpkin wasn't in the exact middle, it would make me question its lighting a bit less, as it would seem like less of the prominent subject.
