2) Picture of old books, on pinterest

3)Enchanted

4) Already the way that the books are set allows for a good use of shadow and stacking of light. Also the natural deteriorated color of the books plus the additional coloring of the amber light sources makes the books have an almost magical or enchanting feel to them, as well as an ancient or old feeling.

Photo Observation!

THEME: Single Light Source

A lot of my free time is spent on tumblr, reblogging pretty pictures and entertaining animations. This picture came up from one of my favorites, which is dedicated to books and the beauty therein. I have a huge thing for books, and flowers are generally nice as well. What I love about this picture is how old the books look, how torn and dusty and slightly broken they all are, and yet they are still beautiful. They maintain the story and the subsequent effect it can have on the reader, despite their age. The rose is the same way. It’s old and dried and kind of wrinkled, but it still maintains its beauty. I like how soft and subtle the light in the picture is. For all that it’s a single source coming from behind, the shadows aren’t overbearing and everything is still visible. The way the light kind of fades away around the edges of the object and everything is the dusty yellow of worn but still alive.
