Week 6: Silhouetting
On a walk to class as the sun set in the distance, I knew I just had to take a picture of what I was seeing. I am infinitely interested in silhouetting, and it's often used in my photography. The combination of a silhouette and my fascination with California sunsets led to me taking this photo. The warmness of the sunset behind the tress makes them more difficult to see, more difficult to discern. This scene appeared very mysteriously and was much more engaging and intriguing, as I had seen this areas several times but was never compelled to take a photo of it until then. I'm not fond of the lower parts of the photo that is more lighted from the front and has lights. With that said, the bottom section grounds the image and provides realistic and relatable features that don't make the image entirely mysterious or unknown. The dark against the cool, brighter background makes it more intense and gives more attention to what isn't lighted (in this case, the trees).
Toute a l'heure,

Really nice explanation of the photo - you could write a play or performance piece just from this photo
