I'm a fan of low key!

I don't know why high key is so hard for me, but I'm finding that I really like low key. A low key shot of the fan in my living room.

You crack me up.

This looks really good! (I'm having trouble with low key--I'm a little "ticked off" about it). It's good to know a person can make peace and even be a fan of low key. You give me hope, Lisa! Great shot!

@sarasdadandmom LOL!
@paulam Thanks. High Key is giving me fits. I have done several high key shots, but I just don't like them. I have also learned not to hit that "auto contrast" key when processing. That messes is all up.
@swilde Thanks so much!

I have to do a low-key picture this week, I thought for low-key less of the actual object should be seen and mostly only the form. Might try one tonight if I have energy.

@homeschoolmom Lisa, I completely agree about the auto contrast--it cannot be trusted!

@joansmor Maybe I needed to make this a little darker then. That's one thing I don't like about high key is that you loose too much detail.

@homeschoolmom I looked at this before I tried mine and thought it was helpful. http://www.lightstalking.com/low-key-photography#ts-fab-flickr-above-8033

@joansmor Thanks, that helps. I definitely need to make this darker to be low key!
