"Flat Lay" Still Lifes Theme
I chose one theme that represents something significant in my life.
That is the camera sets. I sorted out my camera shooting equipment sets for Long Exposure and Classic Exposure. Lighting setting was based on high key, and point lighting was added to the left to highlight the subject.

For the background setting, I thought about the background in which the subject could stand out.
In the first attempt, I tried it with the three primary colors, R.G.B, but the subject was not highlighted. Because most of the colors of the subject were black and silver, I changed the background color to green, yellow and orange.

Shooting Equipment for Classic Exposure
When I go out, I always carry my camera sets. I call this set the classic shooting equipment. With this set, I walk slowly looking and taking photos using manual lenses. Sometimes, I listen to music on my phone and sometimes, I try to create a fun bokeh using the bokeh master filters.

Shooting Equipment for Long Exposure
The dawn is the time of the day that I love the most. It is very short, but the color is beautiful. The scene is always different. Even in the same place, it's always new.
Sleepy and cold but I set up the camera with a tripod for long exposure shooting and wait for the scene of the peak of dawn. The scene is even mysterious.

REFLECTION
Last week, I spent a lot of time practicing for lighting settings.
Based on that, I tried this week's assignment. In fact, I had to spend more time than last week. Not because of the lighting settings this time, but because of how to select components and how to place them.
Based on that, I tried this week's assignment. In fact, I had to spend more time than last week. Not because of the lighting settings this time, but because of how to select components and how to place them.
I had many thoughts and attempts: Various background settings and lighting settings to harmonize with the subject. After trying many combinations, I decided with this theme.
I have experienced that the mood of the result varies within a limited frame depending on the arrangement of components and on the setting of the lighting.
