I love the sepia setting you've used for the photograph taken in the living room setting. The photograph itself has an eerie, deserted feeling to it. I saw it and wondered if everyone at your Packer game house party decided to throw off their clothes and run naked through the streets post-Packer victory.
I love the composition, and I love how some of the objects in the photograph are tilted; the lampshade, the angle of the coffee table and the edge of the chair, just peeking in the lower left-hand of the photograph.
I think your choice of natural lighting gives this photo it's true strength, and that it would have given a far too matrixed and sterile kind of feeling to the photograph had it been set up with a fake lighting situation.
Well done on all of your photographs, and I look forward to following your blog throughout the semester.
I really the black and white setting you used on your first picture. Adding the black and white to the picture gives the photo a somewhat creepy look to it. The fog in this picture already makes the overlook of Shorewood/Milwaukee somewhat creepy, but the black/white look makes it almost mysterious and frightening. I feel that if this black/white effect was not brought into this picture, than the picture would lose its frightening look.
The black and white photo is great because I think it really whittles down nature to its roots. It simplifies the chaos that can often be associated with lightning and thunderstorms. Also I think it's pretty cool how the very thing that started electricity is also what could potentially knock it out in this scene and it's interesting that they are the two things illuminated in the photo.
