Share Your View: Finding Form

Oranges
Oranges by Dorian Susan
With all of the recent talk about overcoming fear going on around here, you might have forgotten that  Exploring with a Camera: Finding Form is still going on! Today I’m sharing a couple of images from the Flickr pool, to give you an idea of what kind of form your fellow photographers are finding. I’m seeing form everywhere!
The link up is posted below, if you’d like to add your view to the mix. I’ll be on vacation next week, so I’m keeping the link up open an extra week while I’m gone. I hope you’ll take some time to explore form and see how you capture it in your photos. Archive and recent photos are all welcome! I believe we learn from review and assessment of older images as much as we learn from capturing new images.
Have a great day!

Finding the Contrast

Number 9
Number 9 by tim mcmurdo

Sometimes, an Exploring with a Camera topic really strikes a chord with me and with all of you. Visual Contrast is definitely one of those times! It’s funny, I never quite know what is going to happen on a topic until I put it out into the world. I love how you all have run with this one, finding so many different kinds of contrasts in your images. I loved looking through the Flickr pool and I’m still visiting links, so I’ll be by shortly to say hi if you haven’t heard from me. 
Tomorrow we’ll move on to a new exploration, look at form in our photography. Not sure what I mean by that? Come back tomorrow and find out! You can also find me on Mortal Muses this morning, as we begin musing about shapes. I found the most amazing shapes created by light and liquid over the weekend that I’m sharing there today.

Jennifée says: I find it interesting how nature contains all stages of life at the same time – both vibrantly alive and slowly dying, like here.

Dorian Susan says: Lobster boat dwarfed by huge cranes at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard creates a contrast of big and small, industrial vs. simplicity of the common working man.

Share Your View: Visual Contrast

The Athens flea market is, for some reason, full of chairs. Lots and lots of shops selling piles of chairs. No tables, just chairs. I was drawn to this scene for the contrast of the nicely restored chairs against the graffiti. (Athens is also quite full of graffiti, more of that later.) I’m not sure how I would describe the contrast, but it makes a striking statement to me.

I’m off in England right now, so no sharing from the Flickr pool today, but let’s check in on our Exploring with a Camera theme of Visual Contrast. Have you found contrasts in your archive? How about when you go out with your camera? I’m betting that you are finding more contrasts than you ever expected, so come and share. We already have a number of great images in the link up and Flick pool. Do some exploring of other’s images and see what cool interpretations have been found.

And the Light Fades

Ahhhh, finishing up Exploring with a Camera: Rimmed with Light today. What did you think? Is this light easier to find now? I know a lot of you didn’t have much sunshine in the last couple of weeks, but I hope that when you do you get out in some directional light you will try to capture rim light. I’m sharing a few of the beautiful images from the Flickr pool today, but take a few moments to go and look there along with the link up to see more. Thanks to all of you who participated with this exploration!

Even as the rim light fades away today, I have a new Exploring with a Camera topic in store tomorrow: Visual Contrast. See you then!

Share Your View: Rimmed with Light

It’s been a week since I posted Exploring with a Camera: Rimmed with Light. Have you been seeing your subjects outlined this week? If so, share them here or in the Flickr pool, we’d all love to see!

I’m on vacation this week so today I’m not able to post images from the Flickr pool today, but I’ll share some of my favorites next week as we wrap up Rimmed with Light. Instead, today I’m sharing this spring image I captured on a morning walk in Parco di Monza. I loved how the trees were outlined by light coming from the left, defining each one. As I prepped for this topic, my morning walks recently became study time. Can you imagine me, stalking people in the park with my camera as I learned the angles and backgrounds it takes to capture rim light? Unfortunately, the people moved too quickly for me to capture images good enough to share, but they sure helped me learn! Keep my experience in mind if you are struggling with capturing rim light, sometimes just observing for a while can help you learn enough to eventually capture the image you are seeking.

I hope you are having a great week, I’ll be back here on Monday!

The Wait is Over

The Crossing Guard
The Crossing Guard by tim mcmurdo

Well, our Waiting to Click is over for now. How did it go? I enjoyed seeing all of the images in the link up and the Flickr pool, thanks for your participation. You were waiting on everything from animals to people to water to the sun!  This is not the easiest concept to come up with a picture on demand, so I hope if weren’t able to capture something now you’ll be aware of the movement and change in our world  and see more photographic opportunities in the future.

Tomorrow will be a new Exporing with a Camera post, and we’ll be exploring how to get our subjects Rimmed with Light. See you then!

Where you go, I shall follow  . . .
