My 2018 Photography Challenge Weeks 21 – 25

June 29, 2018 By: Nanette

Sometimes well, I don’t know about you but I tend to overthink things/situations. Like this challenge for one, I’m thinking oh my gosh what am I doing to do for the week 21: true black and white photography challenge. My mind is blank and it takes me days. Yes, literally days to figure out oh wow, did you really forget there was a piano in the living room with black and white keys? Sometimes life has me so turned upside down. You know how I feel, don’t you? Please say yes. I don’t want to be the only one like this.

Week 21: True Black and White

Week 22: Tools

Finding tools to photograph is difficult if you limit your idea of what a tool is. At first, my only inclination was workman tools – hammers, nails, screwdrivers, etc. But then I stopped and really thought about the word tool. A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal.  An artist’s tools are paints and brushes, or paper, pencils, and charcoal or some other medium. Each creator, each artist has their own tools which they use to create their art whether an exquisite dish, a breath-taking portrait or a piece of intricate beautifully performed music.

Yes, as you can see music is a huge part of our lives. I photograph it a lot. Art forms come in many shapes and I love that we as a family can share in multiple forms.

Week 23: Partner

If you read my blog regularly you know how much of a Disney fan I am so you had to see this one coming right?

Week 24: 100 Steps from Your Door

These are the days of summer I want to remember. The walks with my kids, the warmth of the sun and every moment we get to share together. Just when I thought there wasn’t anything to photograph 100 steps from my front door, I turn around and catch this glimpse of my daughter and it melts my heart.

Week 25: Overexposed!

The morning sun was perfect for getting an overexposed photo. It was bright and shooting into the sun rather than with the sun behind me made overexposure easy. The tips of the petals are white instead of yellow and the sun really washes out the sky over the fence as well as creates a haze over the entire image.

My 2018 Photography Challenge Weeks 16 – 20

June 25, 2018 By: Nanette

Working my way through this 2018 photography challenge. Some days are easier than others to get through and I’m not talking about the photography challenge but I guess that applies too. Trying really hard to stay motivated and moving forward. So here’s the next week of the challenge photos. I’m pretty happy with my efforts this week, well some of them. You know me, I’m my worst critic. Aren’t we all?

2018 Photography Challenge Weeks 16 – 20

Week 16: Abstract

Now, this challenge I really like. It gave me the chance to really look out of the box, to look at the everyday differently. It almost lets you get lost in the image. You see things you never would have seen before. I really got in close on this one and I really like how it turned out. Abstract has no boundaries, no right, no wrong.

Week 17: Circle

My passion in a shape – a circle. Well, I suppose technically it’s closer to a cylinder than a circle but if look at it straight on, it’s circle after circle after circle.

Week 18: Body Parts

I love the hands of my beautiful baby girl which bring such beautiful music to our home and our hearts.

Week 19: Negative Space

While I think this photo is kind of cute, I think I missed the mark of negative space. It’s definitely one I’ll need to work more on. But that’s the beautiful thing about life, you can always keep trying.

Week 20: Something I Dislike

Mobile phone, cell phone, phone – whatever you personally call it! I know we all have them but this feeling of needing to be tied to it all the time is just too much. People have forgotten how to actually talk to one another. It’s really sad. Yes, being in social media and online has its place but there is also a time to put down the cell phone.

My 2018 Photography Challenge Weeks 11 – 15

June 19, 2018 By: Nanette

This time I’ve covered weeks 11 – 15 of the 2018 photography challenge. Well, the catching up part that is. I’m still very hopeful I’ll catch up to the right week and be able to keep my head in the game in time to finish this right on track. Stick with me and we’ll see.

Week 11: Candid Setup

Personally, I love candid shots. I love catching people just being people. I’m not one for the fake smiles, the stiff bodies, the uncomfortableness of being in front of a camera. Plus as a mom, it’s the everyday moments of life you want to remember. My kids don’t love it when I pull out my camera but they understand my love for it so I think they just put up with me, most of the times.

Week 12: Black & White

This photograph may look familiar as I used it previously in the Depth of Field challenge. I was playing with the colors and realized I really like it in black and white too. So, I’m cheating just a bit by not taking another photo I admit but I like this one.

Week 13: Smell

Week 14: Blur the Action

With two cats and one cat toy getting this shot wasn’t all that difficult. It just came down to which one of them was going to jump at it first.

Week 15: In the Kitchen

The kitchen is not one of my favorite places in my house. I’m not much of a foodie and cooking is not my forte but I did manage to find something I think looked pretty cool for this challenge. I like that it looks black and white even though it isn’t really. It’s fun to get in real close sometimes. You get some interesting views that way.

Now on to weeks 16 – 20!
