Guatemala tree

ISO:  f/6.3  shutter speed: 1/250

I was given this assignment for newspaper and it's a story about how children in Guatemala don't get much for Christmas. They wanted a decorated tree with no presents, but when I did that, you couldn't tell what was trying to be said by the image. Because of all the ornaments and decorations, it didn't show what the story is about. So, I took the tree that we have in Potter's room, which is bare, and drug it in the studio. (That was a lot harder than I expected. The legs fell off and we had to put it back together and it was just a big ordeal.) Anyways, I put the black back drop up on the highest hinge thingies but I had to stand on a chair to get the whole tree with a black background. I already had lights down low flashing the skirt to emphasize no presents being there, and I just thought well why not get a horizontal of the bottom of the tree. So that's what I did, and I like how it turned out.
