Week 11

March 12 - 18, 2017

Technical:

Spilt Tone

Split Tone is an editing technique where the shadows are toned one color, and the highlights a second color. Split toning is often used with color grading in the media to give a scene a desired look and feel.

Did not love this challenge. Getting the right balance of the different colour and saturation levels of the shadows and highlights was tricky. Definitely a good skill to master and I will have to spend another time playing around with these effects.

Week 8

February 19 - 25, 2017

Technical:

One Shot

Imagine that it is the last frame on a roll of film and you have to nail it. For this challenge only take one shot. No deleting, no second shot. The honour system is in play.

With the popularity of digital cameras, we are used to taking multiple shot of a particular image, perhaps with only slight variations in angle or exposure. Taking one shot felt odd. Here I stopped at Southlands, a nature reserve along the South Shore. This is the first and only shot I took of this view that leads from the entrance.

Week 5

January 29 - February 4, 2017

Technical:

Ten Shots

Shoot 10 shots of the same subject. Each shot should be from a different angle, distance and focal length. Share your favourite image from the set.

I came across a piece of detritus on the beach that to my eye was still beautiful and photographed it in situ. The task required us to choose our favourite image, but I have posted ten shots here. Use the left and right arrows to scroll through to the next photo.
Week 2

January 8 - 14, 2017

Technical:

SOC (Straight Out of Camera)

Straight Out of Camera. No Photoshop. Shoot a compelling image and post it without edits. No cheating!

This was a tough one. I can't remember the last time I have taken an image, whether using my SLR or on the phone camera, and not edited it in some way. This image was snapped on the go from a car window and isn't particularly engaging or interesting.
