This photo was taken from a birds eye view with the light source behind the camera. The key lighting is only used to highlight the apple and is very specific as we can see the edges of the photo are in darkness. With the lighting so direct it leaves the audience with nothing to distract us and clearly hightlights what we are suppose to be looking at.

This photo was taken on the same plane as the subject and from far away. The photo was taken in the direction towards the light explaining the silhouette. There is an uneaseiness to the photo which can be explained by not only the black and white, the silhouette of the subject but also the canted camera angle as the camera does not run parallel with the ground that the subject is on.

This picture was shot from a far distance but zoomed in. The picture was taken on the same plane, same level as the apple. The way the photo was taken is that the background is interesting and in some ways contrasts the subject but doesn't grab the audiences attention first. Another point, the background isn't lit which doesn't distract the audience while there is key lighting directed at the subject. We can figure this out by the white glare being reflected off the apple and the shadow that the apple casts on the right side.

This photo was taken on the same plane as the apple and into the light source which explains the silhouette of the apple. I placed tissue paper over the lamp to act as a filter so the light doesn't distract the viewer from the apple. It also casts a yellow tint which could be the reflection off the golden lamp stand or from the tissue.

 

This photo was taken close to the subject facing in the direction toward the light source which explains the silhouette. The black and white feature was created by focusing the camera on the light which resulted in the lose of color.

Picture and 3 Concepts

The first concept that immediately comes to mind is how far away the photo was taken. Because of the shear size of the blast from the atomic bomb the photographer had to be as far away as possible so the blast wouldn't effect him/her. Nevertheless, the distance from ground zero to were the photo was taken was ideal so it can accurately capture the size of the blast. The second concept that they mention in the book is the juxtaposition in this photo. An atomic bomb in many ways represents the darkest side of humankind and it is frightfully stunning what human civilization has created. The atomic bomb is iconic and a giant feat in technological advances. What the bomb juxtaposes is the natural setting with the peaceful, and calming beaches and trees in the foreground, which is the third concept in this photo. The natural setting with the palm trees and pearly white beaches would send the viewer a very comfortable, peaceful vibe if the atomic bomb had been cropped out.
