I always respond to a challenge, so here is my interpretation of a "Moody" shot.
A few notes/discoveries...
- I wanted the lighting and contract to be really harsh in this shot
- Moody shots are probably better taken when one has a certain emotion in mind... I was tired and grumpy after a looooooooong day and couldn't think of any emotions worth portraying, so I guess you got tired and grumpy.
- that said I really enjoyed playing with the lights and I LOVE the colour version of this shot, had it been any other day I probably would have gone with the colour version but today was for moody... so the B&W version won
- taking photos is the easy part... its finding the time to edit, upload and write meaningful descriptions for myself that is TAKING OVER MY LIFE!!!!
- I was thinking the other day that it would be cool to make a photo book at the end of the year as a kind of memento.... then I realised that even if I made it A4 sized with the photo taking half the page and the writing the other half... we are still talking 365+ pages which is like a Harry potter book... bigger even because the paper has to be photo quality... and from past experiences that would be very expensive.... :-S
I agree b & w for moody great lighting .
