Weekly Photography Challenge, Week 12
March 23rd 2011 14:43
Hey Everyone! This is the 12th week of Shutterboo's 52 week photography challenge, and the theme was PAST.
If you missed the previous weeks, check them out by scrolling down the page.
And if you want to join or look at the other amazing photos taken this week, check out the Flickr group here.
This week's theme was PAST. And although tons of ideas came to mind (antique cars, antique stores, historic buildings, abandoned buildings, etc.) I was too busy with my first attempt of Natural Light / Outdoor Portrait Photography to do anything else.
And so, my submission is a total cop-out. I'm using one of my favorite photos from my session with my gorgeous sister that I shot this PAST weekend. See how I loosely tied in the theme there? I know... it's kind of lame. However, I'm really proud of my first attempt at this style of portrait photography. I learned a lot and I would love to get more critiques, comments and suggestions on my shots from it and I can't wait to try it again soon.
So here's the shot I submitted:
If you want to see more shots or just read more about the photo session, please check out my Natural Light Portraiture post.
But let's get to my FAVs from the Flickr Group this week:
flip_jones - Memory & Marker of the Past - It's a photo of a bench with a memorial plaque overlooking an estuary, in memory of her grandparents. The shallow DOF on the plaque and the deep, rich tones of the photo really add to it, and give it a very emotionally-charged feel.
Kimyjo - Past Memories - It's a tight shot of several old handwritten letters, postcards, pictures and a book. It makes me think of the time where computers (emails) and phones (texts) weren't even a thought, and someone actually had to sit down with a pen and paper to communicate. I like how there's nothing in particular to focus on which has me appreciating all the things in the picture.
rattyree - Past Meets Present - It's a photo of the Harbour Board Wharf Office building (1896) opposite a row of modern concrete, steel and glass office buildings in New Zealand. I really like the contrast between old and new in the photo and think it speaks to the theme really well.
Honorable Mentions - Whitnickle's Past Gravestone, slapshot's Spanish Eight Reale Coin and CraftyCripple's Remembering the Past
Next week's theme is PURPLE. And I'll try not to be so lame. That shouldn't be a problem, considering the beautiful purple flowers blooming in my flower beds and a trip to my father's first art show this weekend! Til then folks!
