Cloudy in New York

Technique: Outdoors, No Flash
Lens: Wide Angle 28-224mm (35 Equiv.)
Mood/Message: Edgy
The view of New York from my town, voila! New York is much beautiful at night with all the lighted windows glitter each and every skyscraper. Being pretty dark that day, my camera lit up the cloud above New York, giving it almost an aurora look to it. This photograph I chose to keep in color. The warm highlights makes it seem as if it was take in sepia. I also played with Photoshop by burning the Hudson River and the couple of buildings in the foreground. They seems distracting. Any improvements? Yes. I need to get a tripod.
With Questions

Technique: Black & White, Indoors
Lens: Wide Angle 28-224mm (35 Equiv.)
Mood/Message: Mysterious, Curiosity
I wanted to start with a white background where there is also a strong key light, so I got on the dining room table where the chandelier lights my whole face. I was wearing a dark purple shirt, and I automatically thought “CONTRAST!” This photograph had to be very exaggerated, almost unreal to add more mystery to the mood. I call this With Questions because it is what the audience is left with: Who is this person? How is she feeling? Where is she? etc…
Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams once said that he perceived “color” more clearly in b/w photography…I often think that’s true. It seems to speak to you more - sometimes - than color photography…

![In 1917, French artist Marcel Duchamp exhibited a urinal by moving it from a bathroom into a museum and calling it art. He called this art because his viewers saw something that they wouldn’t normally expect. The school of art devoted to everyday, ready-made, objects was called Dada. Duchamp was a founding member.
