Behind the Lens

This is a photo of a Virginia Cigarette box. Found while looking through old dusty objects in a family home i had to take a picture of it, it was classically vintage. Taken on a farm in Wexford, it captures the homely feel of being in a childhood home Surrounded by family. The warm yellow colour contrasts with the cool surrounds of the picture. The angle of the box and the boldness of the words on the front draws the eye across the picture and take it all in. This photo was taken on an iPhone camera and edited through Instagram.

This picture was taken on the inside of a bus. You can see the condensation on the window and the light reflecting through the glass and water, distorting the image. On the left there is the yellow of the bus seat which goes well with the yellow light in the bottom right corner of the image. The red light on the left gives the illusion of being a stoplight and the picture being taken from the outside, the colour goes well with the red of the car in the bottom right of the picture. I like how there is focus on the condensation on the glass and all the light coming through the window. The green light in the middle creates a center of focus and the angle of the window draws the eye along the picture. The Picture was taken using an iPhone lens and edited through        Instagram.
