Weekly Winners – Low and Slow

Sep 25, 2011 | Photography, Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Weekly Winners

All taken w/ Canon Rebel XS.

Oh my what a week. Sickly kids, field trips, racing teens and drug switch-outs…on top of my headaches.  I had in my head all of the Scavenger Hunt prompts, or so I thought. Found out tonight that I’d mis-read one. I luckily had something that mostly worked with the prompt, and for another I have to go into my archives (because I didn’t want to try to top pictures I already had & love).

1. Low Key

2. The Color Wheel – Monochromatic and Analogous Color
This is the one I had written down wrong. I actually created a full color wheel of fruit. But, I had this that was along the lines for what was actually asked for 😉

Tell: The first thing I thought of when I saw the circle prompt for a selfie was a compact mirror shot. Well, I had no compact, but I did have this.  In the end I ended up thrilled with the shots.

Photography love...

 

4. Scarf
These two are from my archives. Last winter I did a snow shoot w/ my red scarf. I didn’t even want to try to do better right now, I still favor these images too much.

      @Valeria,

      Thank you!! Last year when we had a fresh batch of snow I knew I had to play with my red scarf in it. I wish I’d had my remote then, but even without it I’m happy with the shots I got.

      @bek,

      Thanks so much! The circle was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the prompt. It wasn’t as easy to accomplish as I thought.

      @Ashley Sisk,

      Thanks, Ashley! First thing I thought of when I saw the prompt & that it was a selfie was a reflection in a compact mirror. Since I had no compact, I worked with what I had 🙂

    Of all of these the phone shots are my favorite. I love seeing everyday objects from a different perspective.

      @Tara R.,

      Thanks Tara! I was going to use my cell phone…but then I thought of the old home phone we had and knew I had to use it. I was drawn to the cord as something ‘different’ to capture.

    These are all great, but your circle and phone are my favorite shots.. I haven’t seen a phone with a cord in a while.. I miss them.. Now I am always searching my house for my phone.. I do hope you have a wonderful day!!

      @Linda R,

      Thanks Linda! I literally had to dig out that phone and dust it off (and wasn’t entirely successful at that, there’s still dust on it ~lol~). I miss knowing where it was always too!

    I love the corded phone. You don’t see those too often anymore. I also think that the first scarf shot is very cool.
