Photo blog #39: The Elements

milo rathbun – inspiration Since there has been so much beautiful rain recently I thought It would be the perfect inspiration for this photo blog. In this shoot, I wanted to use the reflection of light and water to create a cool-looking effect. I found this table with a Chinese noodle house in the background. The neon lights of the restaurant almost reminded me of a movie scene and I wanted to capture this emotion. The mixture of red and … Continue reading “Photo blog #39: The Elements”

Photo Blog #38: Rule of Odds

milo rathbun – composition The goal of this photo was to capture the traffic light as my rule of odds subject. A traffic light has 3 lights so it’s the perfect amount to really draw your attention. I decided to shoot at night because of the luminosity of the lights which also gave the lens a little bit of flare around the hotspots. Overall the blurriness and contrast between light and dark really draw your eyes toward the light and … Continue reading “Photo Blog #38: Rule of Odds”

Photo Blog #37: Seasons

Milo rathbun – storytelling In this photo, I am telling a story of the seasons changing. Since Christmas Is Approaching I thought something related to the holiday would be the perfect subject for my photo. I found this Christmas vine with a nice pop of color on the red flower. To make it stand out I made sure to take the photo at an angle in which there is a deep depth of field and a blurry background. In order … Continue reading “Photo Blog #37: Seasons”

Photo Blog #36: Graditude

milo rathbun – inspiration In this photo, I wanted to capture two things in my life that I am very grateful for. Firstly, My red 1993 Honda Del Sol. This car has been with me through thick and thin and the memories I’ve made with it contribute largely to the man I am today. It’s brought me closer to my father, friends, and helped me make new connections with people through a common love for “machines”. Secondly, I’m grateful for … Continue reading “Photo Blog #36: Graditude”

Photo Blog #35: Rule of Thirds Emotion

milo rathbun – composition In this photo, I wanted to use the rule of thirds to make the viewer feel loneliness. I arranged the photo so that two similar cars would be on the left side of the rule. These two cars are both red, similarly shaped, and model Ferraris. To contrast these cars I chose a black Lamborghini to go on the rightmost box of the rule. Since there is both an odd number of cars and a contrast … Continue reading “Photo Blog #35: Rule of Thirds Emotion”

Photo Blog #34: Color Without Color

milo rathbun – storytelling In this photo, I wanted to tell a colorful story without the direct use of color. With Christmas approaching ever so quickly I thought my tree would be a good subject. Christmas trees are some of the most colorful things that everyone can relate to in some manner. The decorations, lights, and uniqueness of each tree really tell a story of the decorator. Personally, in my family decorating the tree is a big event and every … Continue reading “Photo Blog #34: Color Without Color”

Photo Blog #33: Who Inspires You

milo rathbun – inspiration My father has always been my biggest inspiration throughout my life. His curiosity and love for this planet has brought him amazing experiences which I’m lucky enough to have shared a part in. I feel this picture does a good job of capturing his spirit for adventure while immersed in nature. In this specific photo, we were on a road trip in my Honda Del Sol on the way to northern California. We stopped by the … Continue reading “Photo Blog #33: Who Inspires You”

Photo Blog #32: Fill The Frame

Milo Rathbun – composition In this photo, I was tasked with filling the frame with a subject of a single color. Mine was grey. In order to do this I chose a location with nothing directly in the background So I could really have a depth-of-field effect. Doing this made causes the viewer to focus in on the shoes and pants (both of which are grey). Additionally, the greenish tints on the lights in the hall make a nice contrast … Continue reading “Photo Blog #32: Fill The Frame”

Photo Blog #31: Friends and Family

milo rathbun – storytelling In this photo (disregard the contents behind the window) I wanted to capture the story of myself. I find in my life that this can be the most difficult story to tell out of all. There are still many uncertainties and although I know much of where I’ve been, I don’t know much of where I’m going. The composition would somewhat metaphorically represent this. The bars in front of the reflection represent how I can many … Continue reading “Photo Blog #31: Friends and Family”

Photo Blog #30: Your Habits

milo rathbun – inspiration In this photo, I wanted to share one of my bad habits. I find that I procrastinate in some rather odd aspects of my life. One of these being haircuts. In this photo I wanted to capture a classic barber sign while adding a little bit of depth and personality to the photo. I took it at an angle to separate the sign from the background and contrast the colorful sign, with the eerie green background. … Continue reading “Photo Blog #30: Your Habits”
