  • Photo Challenge Friday Week 31: Chair and Week 32: Line From A Song

    Hi I’m Back with my photo challenge Friday Segment. A couple of weeks ago I decided to start doing 52 frames again so I will be participating in their challenges and sharing, what I have created here. The theme for this week is Chair. You can photograph any type of chair. It can be a sofa, a dining chair, a plastic chair a wooden chair or any kind of chair. I have chosen to photograph my reading chair just plain and simple with a blue toned ring light setting to highlight the colour of the chair. Here is the Image I chose for the challenge:

    Here is the rest of the images I took as part of the Challenge but i didn’t choose:

    The Challenge for week 32 is Line from a song so i picked I feel a lavender haze creeping up on me from Lavender Haze by Taylor Swift. Here is the image I chose:

    Here are a few more of the images I took for this challenge:

  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 29: Still Life and Week 30: Self Portraits

    It’s Monday and It’s a little late but It’s double challenge time.

    Week 29’s challenge is Still Life. This is about picking complementary objects that complement each other and creating a composition. In paintings this is often a bowl of fruit.

    Here are my still life images:

    For Week 30 I had to try one of the things photographers rarely do. This is the dreaded Self Portrait. We will see how this one goes. I mostly photograph people and fashion but rarely photograph myself except on a quick phone snap. In These ones below I look like a bond Villian:

  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 20: Rule Of Thirds

    It’s Friday gotta Photo Challenge On Friday.

    Week 20’s challenge is Rule Of Thirds. I thought I’d Start the challenges in this book from the beggining which is the fundamentals. So The Rule Of Thirds is basic composition. Think of your camera or phone like a grid and divide it into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. The Focus of the image should be placed on the intersecting points usually on the right or left hand side but don’t be afraid to break the rules.

    Here are a few of my images that show the rule of thirds:
