Multiple Types of Light

Assignment #8: 

I seem to be finding myself coming back to taking pictures of relating to music, which I suppose is my inspiration.  Sorry, I couldn't pick just one.  For both these photos the aperture was 7.1, the shutter speed was 1/200, and the ISO was 400.  The two types of light were natural sunlight (it was a cloudy day) and the flash firing from my camera.  I had to adjust my settings a lot to get the effect I wanted.  I love these photos because of the mix between the outside and the coolness of a trumpet.  Instruments are usually not portrayed in this type of setting, and the cool lighting, combined with the unique scenery make these photo special.  These photos mean so much to me because of the obvious reasons (the trumpet), but also because of the deeper meaning.  A connection between nature and music represents how true and simple music is, but also how complicated and beautiful it can be.  Just simple shots of parts of the trumpet may not make it obvious to the viewer of exactly what is the subject of the photo from first glance, but all they know is that it is beautiful.  This is relatable to music as most people see the outer shell and beauty of music, but don't understand how deep and complicated it can be.
