For this project, I decided to take pictures of out of focus lights with a dark background. I was really striving to create unique images that are not cliche, but rather show normal sceneries in an abstract way. The way the circular lights stand out against the darker background evokes a sense of spontaneousness and happiness within me. I have always been drawn to taking pictures of sceneries or objects that people don't normally see because I believe those make the most interesting and intriguing type of photograph. My intention for this project was exactly that; capturing things that most people overlook in their everyday lives. Living in one of the most beautiful places in California, most of the time we take for granted everything it has to offer. But taking my camera and driving through San Francisco and Marin determined to find interesting lighting, opened my eyes to so many new types of photographs I can experiment with in the future. Even though I took a risk by taking out of focus pictures, I definitely experimented with ISO, exposure, and aperture, which allowed me to eventually create the twelve images I have here. While I am extremely happy with these photographs, I am also very excited to push my knowledge of taking these types of photographs to the next level.
