The prompt for today was Thing that they love. Anything from food to a toy for each of us. So far I got only to take some pictures for Henry – his most favorite toy – a Cat. And I am still getting use to my new lens. I also spent couple of hours yesterday reading through my camera manual. I couldn’t remember a lot of things I learned in the photography class I attended a year ago: bracketing, metering, picture styles …
Today’s prompt was to photograph what your loved one wears. I found some nice pieces to photograph among Henry’s old shoes and also my own jewellery
So, my canon is back and I also bought a new (2nd hand) portrait lens. I was playing with it in the last two days using the prompts I receive for Joy of Love. And here are a couple of photos!
1. Prompt #1: What are they doing? The idea is to photograph your loved one doing something very typical for them. Well, for Henry that’s iPhone watching (Russian cartoons)
2. Prompt #2: How they look. I have several photos to keep all of us in our memories, rather then only Henry:-)
3. Prompt #3: Then and Now. I had similar pictures taken a year apart: in Feb 2010 and now in Feb 2011!
1. Watching cartoons
2. Inesa
2. Family
2. Henry
And here is another version of the Then & Now . It’s also a collage, I think all those time-line series work best as a collage… I’ve done all of mine in picnik’s free account (though I must admit, that the premium version is becoming more and more tempting:-)
And then, after giving it some thought I decided to include somewhat less successful photos. They are what they are because both me and Nigel are not great fans of our own images. Hence we end up not looking into the camera or making funny faces… But, so I thought, we need to get over it and document our lives as we do it for Henry!
30 days drawing challenge. I found this on pinterest. Fancy some non-photographic non-scrapbooking creative challenge? Here it is – pretty cool, from my humble point of view:-)
