Low-key photography

Last week in my photography class, we were supposed to work on low light shots.  Well, since all the photos taken inside our house are done with low light, that wasn't really stepping outside my comfort zone.  Instead, I decided to give low-key a try.

Here's Caleb watching the Olympics one night, lit by the lamp on the end table.

These next two shots are actually an illusion of low light.  They were taken during the brightest time of day in our living room.  Again, Caleb was watching the Olympics.  I saw the rim of light reflecting off of him and knew I wanted to capture it.

You better believe I'm keeping my eye out for more low-key opportunities.  I had so much fun with these low-key shots.
