The Concept:
This is our weekend edition of Today’s Photo Minute which we call Shoot and Share. The purpose of this is to encourage all of us to get out with our cameras, do some shooting and then to share our results with others on our Facebook page (do it as a reply to this post). It has been neat to see how these challenges all help us to start to “look” for photographic opportunities so hopefully this weekend will be the same.
The Assignment:
Challenge 1: Macro We have been talking about macro or close-up photography this week in some of our segments and it only made sense to give this our best shot in terms of practice. Find a small subject of any type and create a close-up image of it. Extra points to those who find subjects that are almost abstract because it is not obvious what the subject is.
Challenge 2: Spring It is that time of year so find something that represents “Spring” to you and shoot it. Now for those of you who want to push their creativity a little, it would be great to use a different type of subject for each of these two challenges. For example, if you photographed a flower for your macro, see if you can photograph something totally different for “Spring” or vice versa. You do not have to do this but it is a good challenge to get creative.
When you get your images ready by late this weekend, please share those with the rest of us who are participating as well. If you are on Facebook, please post them as a reply to this particular post. If you are not on Facebook, feel free to email your entries to [email protected] and I will be glad to post them with your name. Happy shooting and have a blessed Easter as well!
