My Photographs: Guitar Hero

This is one of my favorite photographs I have taken this semester for my Photography I Class.  This photograph went along with my series of "people" photographs, as the assignment required.  It is a picture of two of my friends playing Guitar Hero.  My favorite part about this photograph is the way the lights look like stage lighting.  It gives this illusion that the boys really believe they are playing the guitar in a concert, not just in their living room.  The lights are also reflected in the window on the left, so it appears that they are coming from both sides.  I also really liked how the boys are standing.  One is leaning back and the other has a stance that most real guitar players take.  I was also really happy with the way the tv screen turned out.  I was afraid it would have lines going across, or it would be too light to see.  It took a lot of burning to be able to see the screen as well as the lights on the sides, but the final outcome of the photograph is very nice in my opinion.
