Bones in the dark.

I missed a day of college when we were supposed to be in the photography studio, so I chose to improvise at home to make up for what I'd lost, using my fish tank lights to get a spotlight effect. At some point I decided to involve a metal bowl to attempt to bend the light more. All in all, this photo set is just an experiment with lighting, and I am pleased with the outcome. The photos were difficult to take as the shutter speed was low to make them brighter, and I had no tripod on hand. 

I like this photo, the way the feather is shining blue, and the dark colours, the way many things are in shadow. I also like the natural wooden background, giving the photo a natural image.

I really like bird skulls, they are very complicated and make great photos, so I decided to take two of my gull skulls and photograph them in the dark. I also used a bowl as a reflection for the piece, and I like the outcome.

This was my favourite photo from the shoot. I like the complete total darkness aside from a small part of the skull, and how clear and symmetrical it is. The white highlight is very soft.

This is another one of my favourite photos from this set, I set the skull in a bowl and took a picture, playing with the lights and the blues. It makes for quite an interesting photo.
