  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 4,5 and 6

    So I know it’s a day late and I apologise for that but today i’m doing a special triple post because I’ve been on holiday so I’ve combined my posts for week 4, 5 and 6.

    So each week I set my self two challenges because I was on holiday so this meant I had plenty of time to shoot. For week 4 I chose 1.The Resting Point where I had to find and shoot a subject that embodies peace and serenity. I chose a circular wall where you can view boats because to me this represents peace and serenity because at this place you are stood alone in thought admiring the view.

    2. Photographing a Photo where I had to take a photo of a photo but I had to change this challenge because my Polaroid camera is broken so I had no other way of doing this. So my new challenge for week 4 was 2. Freezing Time so I took a photo at an event called Corre Foc where people run down the street with fireworks and it looks like a person is running through one.

    On Week 5 one of my challenges was 1.Vignette but I didn’t actually shoot a vignette I took a photo an added the vignette in later via photoshop express. 2. I had to shoot a subject from both a long and a short focal length so I chose swimming pool.

     

    Week 6 was my favourite week because I got to shoot two of the things I love shooting. 1. Silhouette and for me the perfect backdrop was the Corre Foc event because there is also a firework in my shot. However 2.Glow is ultimately my favourite thing to shoot other than people and that is a sunset, I even sometimes Google the sunset times.

    Next week on Week 7 I will only have time for one challenge so I have chosen 1. Numbers game where I have to shoot photographs of numbers.

  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week Three: Balance

    So its week three of photo challenge Friday and my challenge for this week was balance. I was planning on taking this shot on a photo walk yesterday but the weather changed my plans so instead I had an idea to incorporate my love of reading into my image.

    I decided I could create a photo that reinvents the game of Jenga using my books so I picked up a pile of my to be read books and placed them in a Jenga style composition where I could see the spines. Here is the Result:

    As you may know from reading my previous photo challenge Friday blogs every week I pick new challenge cards for the next week. However due to my plans for the next few weeks I have picked my challenges for week four, five and six and I have doubled up all three challenges so I will be doing two challenges each week.

    My Challenges for week four will be 1. The Resting Point where I have to find and shoot a subject that embodies peace and serenity and 2. Photographing a Photo where I have to take a photo of a photo.

    The following week on Week Five I will be 1. Creating a Vignette where you have to use a shape to centrally frame an image and my other challenge for that week is titled 2. Focal Length and Background so I have to shoot the same picture at two different focal lengths.

    Finally on week six I will be taking a shot titled 1. Glow where the aim is to shoot a glowing subject and the other task is 2. Silhouette, which is the type of image that works best at sunset.
