I'm learning all sorts of new terms and techniques as part of 52Frames, the facebook based photography group I joined a few years ago. I've really always loved taking pictures, and when I look at some I took as a very young child, I can see a similarity in composition to those I take now. Of course, in those days, I had a simple film camera and only got black & white film. There was no such thing as "wasting a shot." Each one had to be perfect, or my parents would threaten that they wouldn't pay for more film and developing costs.
Today people just shoot and shoot some more. I get dizzy when I have to choose between many photos. Even when I take a lot of photos of the same scene or theme/challenge, there aren't all that many, not the dozens others take.
"Low Key" means dark in layman's terms. It can have something lit up, but that must be a relatively small percentage of the view. I ended up with two similar photos that fit the bill and didn't have the patience nor visual skills to choose, so I asked for help from the 52Frames Photographers facebook page. That's how this was chosen:

| "Light at The End of The Tunnel" I tried to escape the summer's heat by going inside the Walls of Jerusalem's Old City this week and in one of the covered areas, I shot this photo. Camera: Canon IXUS 145 Canon IXUS 145 Aperture: f/3.5 ISO: 100 and below Location: Jerusalem Old City, Israel |
Which would you have chosen? Here is the other:
Thanks to author it was interesting. I think you should record a video about Low Key technology and post it on Youtube so that a huge number of people can see it and give extensive feedback in the comments. By the way you also can buy youtube views to quickly boost their amount.
