Part 1:
Composition: Another high contrast image with a bulb lighting from the bottom a box, surounded by the darkness in the lower third at the center. Taken with large aperture and quick shutter speed.
Concept: Surprise. There is a playful element on surprise that is always delightful.
Method: Again, more experimentation. When playing with light, I decided to "encase" and point the light to a specific spot, however I found that hard and used a nearby box. As I was framing the picture, I couldn't help and try a "sneak peek" sort of composition, that's why I left much of the space of the bulb without showing and much of it darkened in order to emphasize this mystery surrounding what's inside the box.
Motivations: Experimentation and play. I just wanted to play with the light but not by painting with it, but by using many other elements with it. I think it came fine with the limited resources I had.
Context: I wanted to convey a strong emotional feeling of surprise, and I think that symbolically I managed to achieve it, by getting this "mystery" overtone with the darkness and dark grays surrounding a barely visible but well lighted element.
Part 2
Interpretation: Everyone was amazed and wondering as to how I created this picture. I do believe that it was easy to accomplish. I believe that the Surprise element was still there if the public was awed by it.
Evaluation: I would change or try to come with a better exposure so we can capture all of the little details on the bulb and on the box.
Extension: I like the photos where the light is the element, so this would be a good starting point to create a series of pictures where light is the main element or subject.
