Playing with Light


I took this photo by setting a camera up on a tripod with the lights off in the dark room. Then I set the shutter speed to 15 seconds and took a picture. Using a different camera, I set the flash off a couple of times to expose Justin's hands in different positions on the bass' neck. I like this photo because it is fun and interesting, but has an actual meaning. It's almost as if Justin is playing so quickly that your eyes can't keep up. The blue glow around his hands and bass strap looks is very bright, and is indicative of his passion for playing bass because he is literally lighting it up. I also like that this photo can convey that kind of emotion without showing his facial expression at all, because I rely heavily on them in most of my photos.
