Light as a Primary Character

I think that in each of these photos light plays a role as a primary character. In the first photo the dark background really evoked light as primary character. The dark background forces the viewer to focus in on the light making it a primary character in the picture. The second photo uses light as a primary character through the reflection of the saxophone. The reflection of the light off of the saxophone draws the attention of the viewer to the center of the photograph. In the last picture the dark side of the building contrast the light side of the building which draws the attention of the viewer to the lighter side of the building making light a primary character .

Exposure triangle photographs--what are the strengths of of these 3-5 images

I think that the strengths of these 5 photographs is the variation of color and lighting. I think that the lighting in almost all the photos really makes each one (to me at least) strong in certain aspects. I feel that using depth of field to get certain parts of the photo in focus and some out of focus really adds to the composition of the photos. I think that using a low ISO also added to the sharpness of some of my photos further separating the difference of the in focus and out of focus parts of each image.

High key/low key--post one high and one low key image, what works about them

I had a lot of trouble taking a good high key picture so I am leaving the results of my attempts at high key pictures out of this post. But I was able to capture a, in my opinion, good low key photo. In this image I believe that the use of a very high shutter speed I was able to capture the actual flames of the fire in my image. I think that the darkness of the image really evokes the brightness and orange/yellow flames of the fire.
