white balance

A photo of a candle burning in a pitch black room.
1/64 f5 ISO1600

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 the wood grain reflected the light. I really like how the colors came out, and how bright the candle looks in contrast to the dark background! This theme was super fun for me, because I love to play around with colors and light in my photos. I think fire is also a very inspiring subject to work with! It’s so warm and bright, and I think I was able to reflect that with the vibrant oranges and reds in this photo.

This week’s prompt was to juxtapose the big and small. I took a photo of this plane in the sky against the clouds, to create a silhouette. While planes are big close up, compared to the sky they look so tiny, and that’s why I took this photo for this…
