Balance
Another element I chose to experiment with is the element of balance. All I did was add another wine bottle to the photo. By doing this I made the photos symmetrical. I feel like it makes you focus more on the wine glass which is neat because it is the smaller of the objects.
Color
Another element that I worked with while taking some picture is the element of color. I decided to stay simple and just put different colors of kitchen towels next to the bottle and glass. Surprisingly, each different color makes the photograph very different. They each add a little flare to the photos. The pink cloth is my favorite because it brings out the pink in the bottle labels.
Line
One of the elements I decided to work with was that of lines. I went all around my house and yard to try to find some good lines that would put focus onto the bottle and wine glass. Low and behold, I was walking all around on the best lines. I decided to take a few different photos with different positions of the wine glasses. The three photos I chose put the focus on the bottle and glass while pleasing the eye at the same time.
Light
One of the photo elements that I chose to work with was light. I was really attracted to the shadow effect that different light had on the bottle of wine and the glass. I started working with different colors of light and seeing what the outcome would be. I really liked the basic light bulb because it let the true color of the bottle be depicted in the shadow. I also directed to different spot light to the bottle and glass and loved the double shadow effect I received. I then decided to go ahead and do a blue spot light from the bottom and thought that it gave the photo a neat and dark aspect.
