I thought I would try working with Low Key photography and High Key photography. There are many articles out there regarding how to do both. The first couple of "Low Key" photos were done by just setting up a small table next to my patio door and placing dark objects on a black background and also behind and beside my subjects. By doing that, only pieces of the objects caught the natural light, leaving the rest pretty much black. The 3rd one was from my archives. It was taken outdoors at night and lit up with a flashlight (paint with light). But it fits well with the low key photography. #4 is an example of a "High Key" photo and was the center of a flower I took just walking along a sidewalk. #5 has a filter on it and was also taken at a photo shoot with the club. #6 is another example of a High Key photo taken the same day as I did #1 & #2.

So... I wish I could add some links for you to look at but the info is pretty easy to find. You don't need fancy equipment (nice if you do have it) but just take a bit of time to see what you can come up with. It is all a learning curve....enjoy the ride! Also there were some pretty good examples in the b/w challenge....please do not hesitate to us some if you feel it is classed as high or low key photography. Also, if you have advice on how to produce Low or High Key photos on a budget, please pass on the advice! Cheers everyone!

This should be an interesting challenge. Thanks for hosting Sharon. Your examples are fantastic....love the wedding gown, etc.

I looked this up and found a site (and I am sure there are more) that provided some additional tips on post processing...by digital photo secrets.

I went back into my archives as realized that I had shots using this technology but at the time was not aware it was high - low key photography. Saw images and was fascinated by the work.

Here are a few......

And one for fun....using a winter scene and worked into High Key
