My Favorite Toy!

     I chose to photograph a favorite pair of my shoes. I love shoes and the collection of different types is a hobby of mine.  I also liked the idea of taking a macro shot because I think it brings out the details of the subject that wouldn’t usually draw focus. I shot this with my simple digital camera. I set it out on a sheet in my hall then shut of all the lights and used an led light from my phone as a light source. I chose not to use a flash because I wanted the photo to have a darker feel that reflected the personality of the shoe. I chose to shoot in black and white for the same reason. I uploaded the photo to my iphoto and made only a few basic tweaks. As a whole I am very pleased with the result I think I successfully captured the essence of the shoe.
