The week started with a portrait session. There were 10–15 people who needed headshots of themselves. One that came out really well, is of a young boy. He got really surprised when the flash went off, and I managed to catch him with his eyes wide open and a very surprised expression. I made a print and gave it to him and his mother a couple of days later, and both had a good laugh when they saw it.
I’ve taken less photos this week than last week, but I’m still trying to push my edits. Some of the photos below are definitely overdone, but I find it useful to do these experiments.
I’m trying to figure out what kind of edits that give me results I like. Most of my photos this week were taken using my phone, I also attempted to edit in some apps that I don’t usually use: Photometer, Pixelmator Pro, and Darkroom.
During the I walked around a bit, both lunch walks in town and in the village.
This photo isn’t that interesting in itself, but I’ve never used B&W before and that it looks better than in color came as a surprise. I have to remember that.
I liked the texture, but I would like to push my edits even further so that the texture becomes even more apparent.
I just thought this bench looked nice
I’ve always found old abandoned buildings/things fascinating. It’s both fascinating to think about how things were used, but also how they were made. Visually, I like the different patterns and textures that you can see, it’s beautiful.
As you see, I tended to go for B&W for most of the photos. Currently, I’m trying to train myself to see things, and then try to capture of photo of it, and using B&W makes this easier in my opinion. And yes, I’m attempting to find ordinary things to see if I can make them interesting.
This is a photo that frustrates me, I found the light and the contrast fascinating, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to catch this in a photo. I can’t really figure out what didn’t work … but this means that I have something to think about 😁
