The Raku Sentry

The Raku Sentry
Macro Mondays 2.0: Low Key

A raku pottery version of one of my favorite animals, the meerkat. Low key photography is one of my favorite techniques to experiment with. This image was shot in my living room in the bright sunshine streaming through a window. Other than increasing the highlights and cropping the image, it is otherwise unprocessed. I don't know why the EXIF information won't show, so here are the stats:

Shutter: 1/100
f/13
55mm

Une version en céramique raku d'un de mes animaux préférés, le méerkat. La photographie basse résolution est l'une de mes techniques préférées à expérimenter. Cette image a été prise dans mon salon sous un soleil radieux qui coulait à travers une fenêtre. Outre le fait d'augmenter la luminosité et de recadrer l'image, elle n'est pas traitée. Je ne sais pas pourquoi l'information EXIF ne s'affiche pas, alors voici les statistiques:

Obturateur: 1/100
f/13
55mm

Eine Raku-Keramik-Version von einem meiner Lieblingstiere, dem Meerkat. Low-Key-Fotografie ist eine meiner Lieblingstechniken zum Experimentieren. Dieses Bild wurde in meinem Wohnzimmer bei strahlendem Sonnenschein, der durch ein Fenster strömt, aufgenommen. Abgesehen von der Vergrößerung der Lichter und dem Zuschneiden des Bildes ist es ansonsten unbearbeitet. Ich weiß nicht, warum die EXIF-Informationen nicht angezeigt werden, also hier sind die Statistiken:

Verschluss: 1/100
f/13
55mm

Een raku pottenbakkersversie van een van mijn favoriete dieren, de meerkat. Low key fotografie is een van mijn favoriete technieken om mee te experimenteren. Dit beeld werd in mijn woonkamer gefotografeerd in de felle zon die door een raam stroomt. Naast het verhogen van de hoogtepunten en het bijsnijden van het beeld, is het anders onbewerkt. Ik weet niet waarom de EXIF informatie niet wordt getoond, dus hier zijn de statistieken:

Sluiter: 1/100

Sehr schöne und vor allem passende Beleuchtung.
Passt doch auch gut zum Thema?! ... muss das allerdings
auch als Frage stehen lassen da ich es nicht weiß ;)

Valfal club has replied to Taormina
Ich verstehe nicht, was du meinst; fragst du dich, ob es wahrer Low-Key ist? Wenn ja, was sind die Kriterien, um ein Low-Key-Foto zu machen?

Oder ist mein Bild nicht Makro genug für die Herausforderung? Diese Raku-Keramik ist nur 10cm groß, also dachte ich, dass sie funktionieren könnte. Wenn nicht, habe ich ein anderes, das ich an seiner Stelle posten kann. Bitte lassen Sie es mich wissen.

Taormina has replied to Valfal club
No, no... I don't know any "rules" for a low key
and whatever the Internet says... one should
be creative enough to use your own ideas in this area
to implement. And I'm sure you won't find anyone here
your creativity... so it's a good fit.

Perfectly exposed! The light from the side makes the shot, it lets the colours glow and the other side disappears into the dark.

Simply perfect.
For the EXIF not showing it is because you passed the photo through a program before posting. It happened to me before if I loaded them in my iPad, it "erased" original info. Now this is improved, but can happen with other programs/devices...

Thank you for your kind words, and for the explanation of the missing EXIF info. I will check into this in order to avoid another similar mishap. ;-)
