  • Photo Challenge Friday :Week 2: Coming and Going /Don't Belong Together

    So It’s Friday and if you read last weeks post you know what that means. It’s week two of Photo Challenge Friday and last week I set myself a double challenge using the photo challenge cards that my best friend gave me.

    Last week after shuffling the deck I made the choice of 1. Coming and going where I had to photograph something as it leaves or enters the frame and 2.Don’t Belong Together where I had to shoot any two things that don’t normally come together in everyday life or have nothing to do with each other.

    My first challenge coming and going wasn’t as difficult for me as people or things coming and going is something we see in day today life so my picture is simple it’s a picture of a boat called the dazzle which was designed as a commemoration for the first world war. According to the Mersey ferries website the idea was to baffle the eye in order to make the ships difficult for enemies to target.

    Don’t belong together was a much harder challenge and even today looking back at my images I took on a street photography walk I wasn’t sure if id managed to take anything to complete the challenge. In spotting this shot I’d previously overlooked I thought wait a minute this challenge doesn’t have to mean finding something thats the opposite of something else. So I decided my photo of strangers on the steps is a collection of subjects that don’t belong together.

    Next Weeks Challenge is entitled Balance which might not be extremely simply to do  but the idea is simple, what I need to do in the upcoming week is photograph something that is Balanced.

  • Photo Challenge Friday – Excluded and Alone

    So a little while ago I decided that I was going to start a new regular segment on my blog called Photo Challenge Friday. Photo Challenge Friday is an idea where every Friday I will be setting myself a new photography challenge which I have a week to complete.

    The idea was born a few months after my best friend bought me a set of photo challenge cards for my birthday when I decided to look at the cards again and I thought I can do something with these.

    So last week I started this off by shuffling, the pack of challenge cards, and picking a card. The card I picked was titled Excluded and Alone. The aim of this was to photograph a picture of a group of subjects or objects and exclude something or someone from the group.

    Having not really ventured anywhere that gave me the opportunity to do this I looked for groups of things I had in the house and chose lemons as my subject. Here are the results:

    On weeks where I have at least two photography excursions planned I will double up the challenges, so today I have picked two new ones:

    1. Coming and Going

    My task is to shoot a subject as it leaves or enters the frame.

    2. Don’t Belong Together

    My task is to shoot two things that don’t normally come together in everyday life or have nothing to do with each other so opposites attract.

    I’m excited to try out these two new challenges and if any photographers reading this want to give it a go. All you need to do is tweet your results to the #lucyandthelens on Twitter or Instagram and don’t forget to # the name of the challenge you’re testing out.
