I realized I missed Week 2, but the subject was Joy and I was having a hard time grasping the concept last week. Moving on to this week’s subject, Control…well, this may be cheating a bit since the weather was so awful here this week I wasn’t able to get out and get a fresh shot of this one. But I took this in early December and didn’t use it for anything so it’ll have to do in a pinch:

I did this one in black and white because I think it helps to enhance the subject matter of something forbidden. I actually have one of this taken last year too (this is a favorite photo subject of mine apparently ;) ) but it looks much cooler now with the plant overgrowth. It was a lot cleaner last year.

WPC – Week 1 – Electricity

Like I mentioned before, I’m taking part in shutterboo’s Weekly Photo Challenge this year for as long as I can keep this going.

This week’s theme was Electricity. Took me a little bit to figure out what would be interesting to do (too bad I used up the high voltage sign at work on a class assignment) but I had some christmas lights from my little tree and thought it might be interesting to play around with taking a photo of them in the dark.

I’m only semi happy with how this turned out. It was my first time taking a photo pretty much in absolute darkness and I think I need a better lens to really get the look I was going for, but it is what it is. I am happy with how the focus ended up turning out though. I’m still getting a feel for depth of field and how I can play with it to get something cool.
