Still LifeFor this photo assignment, I chose to do the category of still life and take photos of my french horn. I think the french horn is a very beautiful instrument and I was hoping to catch it's golden beauty in a creative way, whether that was through the perspective of the photo, including music, putting flowers in the bell, wrapping lights around it, etc. Summary:Still Life was definitely of of the more difficult categories in my opinion. Setting up a still life image really takes time and effort. Initially, I tried taking photos in the sunlight to capture the golden shine of the horn. I had some success in this area, seeing as how I used one of these photos for my best photo, but I definitely had some lighting and reflection issues. Later in the day, I attempted to take photos in the dark with my horn wrapped in lights. Trying to get the camera settings right for this was definitely difficult because I needed a really big aperture and slow shutter speed, which ended up giving me some motion blur, which I didn't want. Overall though, I think my shoot went pretty well, and as always I hope to learn from this experience and better my photos for next week.
