Your artistic interpretation this week should be inspired by something sweet. A great chance to play with macro photography.
But after strugging for week 7 challenge, I just realized I forgot to post this one! So there it is…
I had a lot of fun with candies; making close-ups, bokeh, macro and creating a scene:
And of course, the other pictures taken for the challenge:
And we got a house full of candies after the shooting session 😉
If you’d like to follow my photo updates, I have created the Facebook page named kewl media. I have no idea how it’s going to work, but feel free to follow my updates there and share it with your friends, or add critics, respond with pictures, etc. 😉
I will also occasionally share some inspiring pictures and time lapse videos on the feed.
The challenge of the week is:
Look for a scene with great contrast that will make a great black and white.
I had this in mind when the challenge started so I started shooting pictures a bit early while doing other shootings. As a person keen on colorful stuff, it’s not that easy to think black and white; but I think I have managed to work on the topic a little bit and made a little pre-selection; also each picture has been given a name and is in the gallery.
The selected picture is “The end of the road trip”, a city landscape shot during a misadventure when the car engine started burning down. They say I am going too far with my bicycle activism :-). The good news is that no one was hurt and the insurance company took care of it.
Other than that, I have been playing with black and white transformation with many of my pictures, and decided to save a few of them after fiddling with the black and white mix.
Now I’m looking forward to the candy challenge.
This one was really difficult for me. It’s hard to find out what expression and posture to ask to people, therefore I have decided to publish a picture of Sheepie, my travel companion from New Zealand. I am so bad at have a lot of potential in portrait photography 😉
Other candidates (includes my mother, a lovely bike found on the street, Sheepie and my work mate):

Topic of the week: Shoot whatever inspires you. Red should be the focus of the image. Don’t be afraid to be creative.
I’ve been having this red playground in mind for some time since I bike in front of it everyday. When I saw this week’s challenge, I hoped they wouldn’t remove the red lights; and they didn’t 😉 Also added a few other candidates for the challenge, all related to red and winter, as it decided to show up.
And the other candidates are:
I really had a hard time choosing only one photo among the last.
