Device: iPhone 4s
Version: 7.0.4
App: Snapseed
I was walking through the building that I work in when I looked out of a door I pass probably everyday. The door was to a little balcony with this bucket on it. I took this photo using the preinstalled camera application on the iPhone 4s. then I uploaded the picture into the snapseed application.
Once I had the picture in the app I first brightened the shot a bit. There was a light coming from above my right shoulder when I took the photo but I wanted to ensure that the orange would pop. Then I increased the contrast to emphasize the almost spotlit bucket of water agaist the darker mysterious background. I wanted the viewer to wonder what was in the darkness. I also liked how when I increased the contrast the dirt in the bucket became more apparent. This isn't a feture that I expected people to see immediately when looking at the picture. After a moment or so though, I wanted the viewer to see this and wonder further about the scene. I also sharpened the photo and increased the grain slightly just to make the photo have more depth.
I took this picture because I felt like this was a space unintended to be seen. It is small and dirty and while it felt slightly grotesque to me that was part of why it was interesting. I felt it was a good contrast to a lot of my more plesant or appealing photos in the collection.
