If you’re one of those looking for or exploring buildings, that’s your challenge, otherwise it can be an opportunity to discover treasures in your city that you didn’t even know existed.You have to photograph the facades.
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic.Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black and white photography, or babies.On Fridays topics will be offered, so you have the whole weekend to work.You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Thursday of the following week.On Thursday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and on Friday I propose a new theme so that you have all weekend to capture your images, etc.
- You don’t have to look for the most spectacular or historic building in the city.
- The challenge is not the architecture of the building.
- But the photograph that you get from its facade.
- Old or modern.
- Old or new.
- What matters is whether to capture an interesting facade.
- Alone or by interacting with another element.
- Such as a pedestrian.
- A painting or a light.
In this case, you can help with a wide angle and an editor to straighten the lines later if necessary.Seek chaos or order; in color or black and white; working perspective or playing with the lines is your choice, but whatever you do take care of the composition, it’s not about making a photocopy of the facade, it’s about creating your own photo with it.I know. Try.
As usual, to participate in this week’s challenge, take your photo to the Facebook wall of the photographer’s blog: In the photo description, mention the keyword?Facade challenge? Followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Good picture
Here is a summary of all the facades received Thank you for your contribution!
The only thing I don’t like about the photo shown this week is that it has no title. Well, and the resolution is not very good, which loses some magic. As for the rest, when I asked for the challenge, I was talking about creating your own photograph using a facade rather than just reproducing it, I was talking about exactly that. I love the image of Raúl Gasca because first you don’t come across a facade, although it is perfectly clear that you do. I love the contrast, which is actually a game of contrasts. The colors of the façade on one side, yellow and blue that create a strong contrast in the background and in the foreground the harmony of brown and green of the tree. Also, in the background we have order, since the mind forms straight lines, even a grid, from the blue details, while in the foreground we find the irregular and almost chaotic lines of the branches. . I also love that it has focused on the details, once again we see that “less is more”. He didn’t have to show a complete facade to show his strength, just a small frame, in the right place and with the perfect perspective. Congratulations Raúl! And thanks to the rest for participating once again.
