  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 19: Get Closer

    It’s Photo Challenge Friday. Week 19’s challenge is to Get Closer. This challenge is about taking close up pictures of ordinary things and seeing if you can make them look stange and unfamiliar. Using objects and subjects you can find in your own house and garden and experimenting with Black and White.

    Here are the results of the challenge:

    For week 20 i have chosen a challenge from Photocrafty by Sue Veneables: 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.
