Baubles Task (Glass Christmas Task)

In this task, I will be photographing Christmas baubles, lights or anything festive that fits the 'glass' theme. I hope my images are colourful, bold, sharp and well exposed. Personally, I don't have a Christmas tree but this doesn't stop me. I will be out and about to try and capture festive images that I've not already taken before e.g. the German markets. Here are my contact prints:

Analysis:

This image is selected because I like the exposure. I've captured this in a salon and they've decorated it beautifully. They've added a few bits and pieces like the baubles and the snowflakes all over so it looked amazing. The aesthetic feel is a bit wishy woshy because I don't get that homely sense. You can see the road behind the glass and it puts me in a difficult position. Moreover, I like this bauble because it's silver and it has characteristics of glass. For example, you can see a reflection of lights on it.

This is another image that is festive whilst fits the theme of glass. I've photographed this snowflake made out of plastic/glass, and I think it's super cool. I just love the shape of it, and how it's made of little balls. The background window isn't this bad in this example because you can just see their printed design. It contrasts nicely with the snowflake itself. The design of the snowflake actually looks like a sparkle which gives it a nice festive aesthetic. 

I like this image because it's a boxed gift with baubles and ribbon wrapped over it. I love the focus on the baubles as it's sharp. In particular, the silver baubles are very reflective. This fits the glass theme because it's festive and there's a reflection of me. I've shot a close up to capture the baubles in detail and it helps show the reflection of the baubles on the box.

In this shot, I've used deep depth of field so it's just focused on the baubles. I like the colour contrast with the red and green. I also like the way the green bauble is reflective. I know this is slightly overexposed as it has dark tones, but I preferred it than having the green tree look white because of the exposure. This punch of contrast makes it more eye-catching because it looks bold.

Finally, I selected these gift boxes because I think it fits the glass theme. Apart from the baubles, the texture and features of the box resembles glass. The shiny box actually looks the way frosted glass looks. This is a similar image to that close up, but here's a overview of the boxes in this vertical format. Even the ribbons are reflecting light because of the shiny material.
