1/80 f5.6 ISO3200

This week we took a photo inspired by music. I decided to take a photo of my bass, which I made myself! It’s functional and modeled after Marceline’s bass from Adventure Time :] I made it almost a year ago but I never took any proper photos, so this seemed like a good opportunity!

For the photo, I wanted a dark background, and so I propped it up against an old leather chair. I played around a lot with angles, trying to get interesting lighting and reflections while keeping the frame confined to the chair. I also edited it to have more contrast and shifted the hue, emphasizing the light on the strings and body. Overall I’m really proud of how it turned out!

white balance

For this week’s photo, we were supposed to creatively use white balance to take a photo that’s not color accurate. I thought it would be cool to make the light from a candle look very vibrant and red. I lit this candle on my desk, because I loved the way…
