I saw this intriguing plant on a walk after a tiring day of school, snapping at least 20 photos of it. When I look at this photo, I feel dizzy, as so much of the space is taken up by blurriness. I represent myself using this photo because although parts of my life are prominent and important at this moment – just like the in-focus point of the pink blooms of the plant – it leads away to the fact that so many other aspects of my life are vague, unclear, and undecided. I loved the shadows of the plant against the garden wall in the background as well.
The flowers are half immersed in the light and half immersed in the dark, like me.
To take this photo, I used a fast shutter speed (1/200) and a high aperture setting (8.0). I think that although both of these settings would cause the light captured by the shutter to decrease, the photo still achieved a light-filled appearance through using a Daylight white balance, as well as through the location of the sunlight against the garden wall.
