Paying attention to small details in small objects is what I tend to enjoy doing. So this close-up shot using natural lighting from my open window shows great detail in this golden Buddha's face. I really like how you cannot see the rest of his body and only can see his face and part of his hand. The natural light gave a nice color to the figure and a nice shot from my camera without using flash.
This was an interesting shot because it was using night light. The colors are rich and dark and yet you can still see enough details to understand what is going on. This long-shot allows us to see the entire Buddha and is framed to have objects in the background. It's as if no matter where you go, whether it is to drink a cup of coffee, Buddha can be there. The colors blend well and the glares from the Buddha, coffee cup, and small moisturizer make the picture look sleek.
I thought a semi-worms eye view shot would provide an interesting shot with a strange angle of the Buddha. I titled my camera and tried to grab a piece of my poster in the top left corner. This long-shot while using a two light source of natural light and my lamp made the details noticable in this shot. The Buddha looks superior, as if he is looking down at someone.
The fourth photo was one of my favorite shots I took due to the natural light combined with a direct light, from my lamp. Also I added this strange angle to emphasize the peace the Buddha gives to empty space. The Buddha gives off a shadow and the colors are very plain to represent the feeling of serenity the Buddha gives off. I Framed this angle to demonstrate the long-shot to be a powerful way to describe something small to have a huge meaning.
Regardless of the shots, lighting, and framing...this object means a lot to me. It is something I found randomly at a store last year when I was learning about Buddhism. At the moment I was kind of sad and I saw it, remembered the things I had learned, and it made me happy. I knew I had to purchase it and it still serves as a constant reminder of finding serenity through all the obstacles life throws your way.
