Lights, Camera & Action

I was driving home tonight with my husband and was playing around with settings  especially slow shutter speed and of course there was a lot of blur and i played some more and this was the final result. The colours are made up of red & green robots also the back lights of cars and street lights.. Really interesting.

Weekly Project 4: Shoes

Thist week: "Shoes"  Why should I want to look at a picture of someone's shoes? The trick? Make it interesting. Perhaps you can zoom in on an interesting detail. Maybe you can put it in context with something else. The shoes does not have to be completely by themselves, but they do need to be the central subject of the image.

Day 1:
I had this project in mind for the last week and when i saw these in an antique shop on Sunday i just couldnt resist.

Parys Walk

On Sunday together with a couple of fellow photography enthusiasts we invade Parys with our cameras. I got to test a nifty fifty and was amazing surprized at what this nifty lens can do.

The infamous Parys bridge.

 



Sugar and Spice & all things nice...

My dear daughter loves playing with my bead necklaces. And today i gave her a couple to play with. But today she was not very enthusiatic maybe because i'm not constantly telling her NO.. the Carte Blance of it all was not thrill enough. But i did manage to get a piccie or 2.

Day 3:

Weekly Project 3: A spot of colour

Colour has an big impact on where our eyes travel in a photograph. Bright and/or light colors draw our eyes right to that area first and often that spot becomes the most important in the image. For this assignment, I want to take shots that has one area that commands your attention with color that is brighter than the rest of the shot. This is not selective color, but something that is more colorful than the rest of the image.

Weekly Project 2: Mundane Objects

Day 1:

Was a slow start to finding ideas but i soon got the hang of it.

Day 2

Day 3:

Day 4:
It was my birthday and i got a box of choccies. I munched whole day on it but left the 2 hearts for me and my dear husband to share later. when i got home a lightning bolt stricked me. and before he could munched it I snatched it to take this pic.

Day 5:
I just love to watch my dear daughter play in the dirt and mud. She gets a thrill of all the textures and Mommy gets the photos.

Day 6:

CONCLUSION

It was hard at first, but as I train myself to look for objects to photograph it became more fun. Will definately do this exercise as often as possible. It was great fun

Weekly Project 2: Mundane objects

Everyday i have to wait for my dear husband outside his gym so i have very limited places i can photograph so i thought i should see what i can get from mundane objects around the gym. Got my work cut out for me.. LOL. but let see what inspiration will hit me.

Weekly Project 1: Angles

Bottom up approach

So many time we take from head down that we forget how a angle such as bottom up can tell a significant. story.

Weekly Themes

After thinking long and hard about how to go about forcing myself to take pictures every day. And it not be meaning less I thought I should set a theme for the week and see how creative i can get with in that theme. I might not take every day but it will force me to take a step back and look at my surroundings and try to capture even the most mundane object and try to tell a story with it.

I think this week theme will be angles. So many times the angle of a photo makes the world of a difference. So this week I'll explore all possible angles to capture a subject.

One day at a time

Inspired by a fellow blogger's 365 day project. I got my camera out and carried it around with me. And it really gave me food for thought on what I want to photograph. And soon I was visualising things in my mind how I want it and what I'll be taking next. Quite a good exercise. Will be carrying my camera with me more often.

SW March 2011 meet

Yesterday i had the privilege to spend the afternoon with some awesome super woman and some of their babies. So i had a lot of little models at my disposal. It was great to catch up with the ladies and practice some new found photography tips.

With all the goodies that was there i'm sure i gained a kilo or 2.
