Original Scene:

Photo #35

 I unexpectedly found this photo. I didn't have to do much to discover it, but I loved how the colors interact with each other. Here we have the complimentary colors of the light blue and orange, as well as the affinity with the red of the apple and the red of the wall. It makes the apple look more appetizing and the line of the table also leads your eyes right to the apple.

So this was pretty cool. I loved the light and darkness here. It was difficult to capture the sharpness of the lights in this particular image, but I kind of like the ambiguity that the blurriness gives the image. I wanted to give a continuation of the purple light from the orange light to show that it had power, but it also seems to have a kind of symmetry that I also love, especially since purple and orange are almost complimentary, and it almost seems that they're competing.

I mostly wanted to take this picture because of how cool the color was. The room I was in was bathed in green light, which masked a lot of different colors by making everything monochrome. The glow sticks, however, were resilient and maintained their colors. I didn't have much control over the placement of the sticks (people were throwing them around fairly rapidly) but I did capture them scattered at this moment, which makes everything look like something out of a science fiction movie to me.

Following the theme of bugs, here's a snapshot of a friendly arachnid David and I discovered while filming his scene. I love the shallow depth of field because it makes everything seem distant and because the spider looks so small, it feels like he's on a great adventure. The ambiguous space makes it feel all the more epic and I also love the brown and white contrast of color here.

This picture of the bee is definitely different than the one that I posted previously. This picture mainly captures the fact that the bee stung me right before I started taking pictures of it. In this way, it looks menacing, ready to pounce. This was the kind of image I was intending to take when I captured it. I think it looks this way because it's partially obscured by the leaf, making it feel more mysterious and threatening. It also looks big in relation to the rest of its world, making it feel more powerful. My arm is still swollen from the sting. 

Photo #30

Here's a little bee crawling around on the ground. What I liked about this picture in relation to the many other pictures that I took of the bee is the colors. I love how the bee contrasts with its immediate background, but matches the overall color pallet given by the orange and yellow trees that frame the grey surrounding the bee. It makes it feel like she belongs in the world and yet stands out distinctly as the protagonist of this picture.
