High and Low Key photos

For both of my photographs I decided to take pictures in coins in different settings. For the high-key photo I tried to find a surface with lots of contrast and light coming off of it. I eventually found a widow that had wasn’t see-through but still let light in I felt like it was perfect and placed a nickel in front.

As for the low-key Photo I went to the library at a personal desk and tried to get as much shadow as possible. Using my hands and my backpack covering most light, I created a lot of darkness for the photo.  The little amount of light helps bring the penny in to view and makes it a clear focus.

Sound Visualization: Phase 1

The song Down For You by Russ is one of my favorite songs. It leaves a very smooth, wavy impression on me. I feel the dips of guitar that come in and out makes it sound so tranquil and relaxing. Some of the recurring patterns come in the chorus, saying “down for you” and explaining to the audience who he wants to be with. Overall I believe that the song isn’t trying to be very serious, its trying to be more light hearted and easy to listen to, as a result the song has a very distinct flow and wave that brings you in to the song.
