The first painting with light image i think, is my most sucssessful because the camera really focused in on the little lights in the front, which made them really clear. The shutter speed on the camera was about 8 seconds. The light source we used for this picture was the toys that light up when you press a button, in the background of the image and in the front we used christmas lights. This image was affective because the background was so dark, making the light the main focus. Also the depth of field made the image more interesting with the brighter lights being more in focus and the dimmer lights in the background adding more color but not enough the make the image overpowering. I think looking at this photo it portrays the image as being fun and exciting. Overall i like how the colors are very similar in the lighting, so there is some unison. Also I like how the lights in the front made the desk light up so the holes in the desk are seen, adding a bit of contrast and texture to the image.
