  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 12: Use Colourful Language

    t’s Friday and I’m back to show you how this weeks challenge went.

    So Last week I set my week 12 challenge which is Use Colourful Language from Be A Super Awesome Photographer by Henry Carroll. This challenge Is about taking pictures using colour as the main element. Literally anthing that catches your eye because of is Colour. See what complimentary colours you can find in the confines of your own house and garden.

    This week the challenge wasn’t the easiest task as I found in my Garden the colourful flowers and plants haven’t yet bloomed however I’m an avid reader so I had a lot of colourful books in my room. I also have quite a few ornamental objects and notebooks that are perfect for this challenge. This week like last week I also used a 50mm prime at an aperture between F1.8 and F3.5 and a shutter speed between 1/80 and 1/250.

    Below are the results of this challenge:

    • Yellow Books
    • Red And Pink Books

    For next week in Week 13 I am going to be doing another challenge from be a Super Awesome Photographer called Make A Scene. For this challenge you use toys and other figurines as props and create a scene. Henry says to use a lamp to create dramatic lighting and experiment with backgrounds to make the scenes more theatrical.

  • Photo Challenge Friday Week 11: See Things Differently

    It’s Friday and I’m back to show you how this weeks challenge went.

    So Last week I set my week 11 challenge which is See Things Differently from Be A Super Awesome Photographer by Henry Carroll. This challenge is about taking ordinary things and seeing them in a new light. For Example, a vacuum could be a twisting python or pancakes could be planets or you could find the alphabet in your photographs. Just use your imagination and see what you come up with.

    This week I really struggled with this challenge because I’m sure i was overthinking It. Then I started to relax a little and photograph objects In my house and garden and I noticed things I wouldn’t normally discover. This week I only used my 50mm Prime Lens and Apertures between F1.8 and F5.6. So here is how I saw things differently this week:

    • The Letter A
    • The Letter A
    • Cloud 9: Getting More Done In Isolation
    • Cupids Arrow
    • The Fan
    • Monkey In A Boat
    • The Chair With A Face
    • Patterns The Coffee Leaves Behind
    • Ladder Looks Like a Shelf or Rack
    • UFO Light
    • UFO Light
    • Lamp Becomes an ornament

    For next week in Week 12 I am going to be doing another challenge from be a Super Awesome Photographer called Use Colourful Language.
