Amusement Park Game

Continuing the series in the amusement park, this image was taken in a game where they had the air compressed guns that throw tennis balls. The person in the image works in the park. The interesting is that while people were playing, the worker was squatting, which can be uncomfortable position if done for long time. Then she had to go get the balls stuck underneath the targets. When I understood the process described above, I realized that the worker may be a good target for my image. There it was! A gun, some tennis balls and a worker leaning. I took a couple shots until I got close to the gun, and there was my image. It was a bright afternoon, but inside the shooting area was dark, so I changed the ISO for 400 and released the hounds. The digital noise in my opinion ads to the image.

Search For Food

Here we go! The scene that inspired me to start the photo shoot in the kitchen. Mixed light, mundane situation and sleeping clothes only adds to the message in the image. I used a little bit o photoshop to bring the highlights a bit higher. For me, the image has a feeling of midnight snack.

Eat the Salad

It was a Sunday. Billie wanted a bite to eat. Everything was fast, when I realized I was shooting. The first section was with the fridge door open. I followed her around the kitchen, getting the ingredients, washing the lettuce, preparing the salad and finally eating. When she sat at the table I wanted to be more careful, and not invade too much her privacy. I think the mystery for not revealing all her face makes the image more intriguing.

Amusement Park

The amusement park has a magical touch to its atmosphere. People from all ages and races get together to play. I have to admit that there is a feeling of nostalgia. When I first arrived at the park it was as if I had gone back in time. There was many people over there during that warm Sunday afternoon, but it did not feel too crowded at all. We were all respecting each others space. The noises of people chatting, roller-coasters spinning and the screaming coming from the wildest rides made it a very auditive experience. When the sun came down the light started to get gold and have long shadows. It also diffused through the park structures, creating beautiful light patterns.
