The opposite of light is dark, the absence of light is shadow. Interpret this into a masterpiece.
Other candidates:
I have to admit that I wasn’t too inspired. In fact, it was difficult to find shadow outside because of the lack of sunlight.
So, here I am again with the weekly challenge. This time it is about a great opportunity to explore panorama stitching and create a wide sweeping landscape.
I first tried from the balcony of my office room, played with Photoshop Photo Merge, and decided to use Lightroom to create the panorama – it seems to handle raw files better when it comes to vignetting. Then I started putting a lot of energy and time into this project and asked myself many questions, including about the ratio to use and found out that 3×1 is a good bet because we can find frames using this ratio. All camera settings are manual, including focus and bracketing was enabled to catch different exposures. But you have been warned, the pictures are great (in size) – please download them if you like 😉
And here are some pictures captured while training for the shootings:
The panorama has just started; I will definitely make more, thinking of an album of Luxembourg panoramas.
Tell someone’s story without showing their face.
I did find it extremely hard to be inspired, to capture an interesting context. I didn’t put too much effort into this and mainly worked on the future challenges instead; but here’s the result:
Respectively named:
But be prepared for something more amazing for week 8 😉
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 😉
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.
