Maddie B- Black and White Clock

This picture is titled “Black and White Clock” because I edited it for the still life assignment, and it was a black and white version of one of my photos. I took this picture of my necklace (with a clock on it), some paper stars, and sequins last November with my camera. I drew the design on a piece of paper, and used that as the background. I edited the picture with camera raw, made it black and white, touched up some of the places where my drawing wasn’t very neat, and lightened some areas on the stars. It  was getting dark when I took this picture, and it would be better if I had taken it earlier when there was more light. I also struggled a bit with getting the clock in focus when I was taking pictures of these objects. Overall, though, I think it turned out pretty good.

I am quite impressed at how you managed to capture multiple reflective object and have most of them be in focus. The shape are quite pleasing to my eyes. Some of this image could be cropped out.

I love the aesthetic of this image. Black and white works well with it, and I really like pocket watches as well. I like the markings around the watch as well, and the shadow is a nice effect too. Overall, good picture. - E.S. - HHS

I really like the framing of this picture. The way the doodles swirl around it makes it feel kind of magical and the black and white makes it feel old like something out of a story book.

This looks really cool! It kind of has an Alice in Wonderland vibe. The doodles and paper stars around the clock is a very nice detail! Amazing job! -V.S. HHS

I love this photo! I think that the sketches and paper stars were a very creative idea. I also like how the color of the sequins match the color of the pocket watch.

I like how the image is in black and white. The contrast in dark and light objects creates a good balance in the photo. This photo makes me think of wonderland, and I would definitely hang this photo up.
