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 😉
Flashback after 10 years: I never maintained that Facebook page, so don’t waste your time on it 😉
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.
This one was really difficult for me. It’s hard to know what expression and posture to ask people for, so I 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):

Previous challenges:
Topic of the week: Shoot whatever inspires you. Make red the focus of the image. Don’t be afraid to be creative.
I’ve had this red playground in mind for a while since I bike past it every day. 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 from the last ones.
This may not seem traditional, but I’ve been riding through those landscapes on my bike for years. I had originally planned to bike to Little Switzerland, but work was hectic, and the weather had been chaotic. This was the only evening it wasn’t raining or windy, and I didn’t wear adequate clothes to step into the tracks (covered with a layer of mud and another layer of water on top).
I chose this photo not because I had no real choice, but because after fiddling with bracketing and HDR processing, it captured my state of mind when I finally saw the stars after several days of fog, wind, and rain.
The colour could have been a candidate for week 3 challenge, but I have something else in mind 😉 My camera aperture was locked at f/1.4 because the aperture ring was blocked, and I didn’t dare fix it in the darkness and humidity.
