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:
Kids playing, normal stuff,
Feet portrait,
Texting, and
Couch potato.
But be prepared for something more amazing for week 8 😉
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.
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.

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 😉
