I bring you a new theme for you to choose your camera and practice your favorite pastime: photography.
Our Photoretum aims to encourage you to practice photography, encourage you every week to spend time with your camera and unleash your creativity while practicing and learning.
- The concept of Fotoreto is very simple: every Friday I will propose a new photo theme.
- Sometimes I show you an example of a photo to inspire you.
- Other times I only give you a clue or a tip that you can apply when creating the Photoretum.
Each time, you will have 7 days to participate in the Photoretum of the week in question, until the following Thursday, download it to your favorite social network (Instagram or Facebook) without forgetting the hashtag or tag corresponding to the Photoreto in question also as the mention . This week will be Photoreto38
Each week, we select a winning photo. The photo author will take a book from our digital library of bdF books.
When you participate in the Fotoretum, we understand that you allow the photographer’s blog to publish your photo, under no circumstances do you give us your copyright, the author of the photograph and who maintains the exclusivity of the copyright is you.
We continue with the composition as a theme, this time it is a natural framing, that is, everything that is part of the scene and that serves to frame your protagonist so that the gaze is directly towards it, no matter if your interest is an animal, such as an example, a person, a plant or any other inanimate object.
It is important that you have a focus, pamper the lighting and look for the elements present to frame it naturally with the idea of creating an attractive composition and focusing attention wherever you want. Windows, doors, drawings of facades, lines, trees, shadows, anything that is part of the scene and that helps you frame your main theme, is valid.
The idea is to do an exercise in observation and composition Come on, you have a world of photographic possibilities waiting for you!
Send your best photo and don’t forget to add the photo38 hashtag and the blog. One of our ebooks can be yours, what are you waiting for?
I don’t think it’s necessary to say how difficult the team has been this week. Congratulations and congratulations to all of them for your participation. The best price is to find the best version of yourself every week when you take pictures.
This week’s photograph belongs to Wilmer Vladez (wmr. valdez) and is titled “An Ancient Coexistence?”.
It’s a great photo in many ways. Leaving aside the technique in terms of focus, exposure and related, which is evident in the field, we will focus on the composition and soul of this capture.
The first thing that stands out is the perspective. He used the edges of the hive to make a natural framing, however, he did not do so from the most anticipated point of view, but from a risky angle. And when I say risky, I mean it in every way. That’s what makes him earn almost every point, and in physics putting the camera there shouldn’t have been a turkey. And it’s not that these are the best conditions for the team, but who dares, wins?
On the other hand, the glare of the sun gives it a point of proximity and warmth and the smoke gives it a great dose of reality. That there are clouds in the sky, I do not think it is accidental, otherwise it would be a harmless space This texture almost seems to mix with smoke balancing the composition.
If we talk about the beekeeper, Wilmer has managed to capture an authentic expression, which mixes concentration and pleasure, because to be a beekeeper I think you have to love it a lot, enjoy every movement, and the great merit of this photo is that you managed to capture it, collect it in a graphic moment, I love the light, the position of the hand, the contrast of blue and yellow, the rhythm that the bees and the honeycomb create and the story that counts. photo I don’t like.
But there is something else, its protagonists, the bees, I want to take advantage of this photo to make a reflection, we need bees and all pollinators to survive, just as we need imagination for photography to survive as we understand it now. we let the machines do our job; if we rely on pixels without our creativity, on technology than on our ability to tell stories or convey emotions; We will have made a mistake and let photography cease to exist as before, art.
Congratulations to Wilmer on this beautiful graphic story
