Geometry is not true, it is advantageous. -Henri Poincare

I really like all the lines and shapes in this photo. When shooting this, I incorporated the flourescent lighting from above, the streetlights on the street (behind the window), moonlight and my own light source being a small light set up on subject's right. I used a Canon Rebel T2i with an 18-55mm lens, a shutter speed of 1/60s and an aperture of f7.0.



For this photo I used a variety of light sources. I took advantage of the natural moonlight and the streetlights, and incorporated my own light source by putting my phone light right in-front of the lens (facing the lens). I used an aperture of f6.5 and a shutter speed of 1/40s. I used a Canon T2i with an 18-55mm lens to take this photo.

I think this photo is interesting because it looks like a double exposure. I used a Canon Rebel T2i with an 18-55mm lens to take this photograph and applied a shutter speed of 1/60s and an aperture of f7.0. There are several light sources I used to my advantage in this photo; such as the streetlights outside, car lights, natural moonlight, and fluorescent lighting from inside. To add my own light source I popped a flash (on my phone) directed towards the subjects back. 

I love this photo. I used natural moonlight, the fluorescent lighting from inside the library and apartment building, streetlights, and I popped a flash from a film camera directed onto the leaves of the big, yellow tree. I used an aperture of f7.0 and a shutter speed of 1/40s. I used a Canon T2i with an 18-55mm lens to take this photo.

To create motion blur in this photo, I used an aperture of f4.5 and a shutter speed of 2s on a Canon Rebel T2i with an 18-55mm lens. I asked the subject to jump and as he did, I popped a flash on his face (to create the replicated image of his face). I also incorportated natural moonlight in this photo, streetlights, and the fluorescent lighting of the library and apartment building.

For these photographs, my inspiration came from the library building itself and its surroundings. I do some of my best thinking at the library and I'm sure many others do too. It is a place where connections are made either by reading a book or just sitting there in quiet study. The geometry of the library reminds me of these connections/channels that so many minds have made while on a train of thought. I love the structure of the building and all the lines and shapes it produces... which is especially evident when lit up at night. The backdrop of natural moonlight has let me use the unnatural light (fluorescent light, etc) to emphasize the geometry of the structures in every photograph, and has let me manipulate my own source of light... kind-of like letting me place my own signature on every photo. The library really is an interesting place.
