Welcome to another edition of the Weekly Challenge. This week we are going to practice photographing a part of the body that can be very useful in photography: the hands.
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in a 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. from portraits to macro photography, landscapes, black-and-white photography, or babies. The themes will be offered on Saturday, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and propose a new theme, and so on?
- Hands are an essential part of the human body.
- With them we eat.
- Write.
- Photograph.
- Greet and kiss.
- Together with them we also defend ourselves.
- Hit.
- Fish and drive.
- For this reason.
- Throughout history the hand has acquired a special meaning for almost all people: in some cultures it is used as a symbol against the evil eye.
- In others it is an open book in which the future can be clearly understood of a person.
- This week.
- The challenge will be to photograph a hand (s) but not at all: it must be a photograph with content.
- Hand for hand is not worth it.
- It must reflect something.
- Communicate a story.
- A message.
- A purpose.
- I need to see a hand represented that does not leave me indifferent.
As usual, to take part in this week’s challenge, upload your photo to the photographer’s blog Facebook wall: In the photo description, please mention the keyword? Hands on challenge? (note your spelling) followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Thank you for your participation
Thank you to everyone who participated in this week’s “Hands” challenge. In general, the challenges that revolve around a part of the human body are usually charged with emotions and small personal stories like those told in each of the following photographs. Congratulations to everyone who collected the glove this week by participating with a photo, although it does not appear here, just participating in the exercise is already overcoming the challenge.
This week, José Ese Erre managed to reap a good dose of love and tenderness through his shot of “Welcome”. He used more than one element to capture the viewer’s gaze: the proper focus, an elegantly broken rule of thirds, thus increasing the importance of the two hands that appear in contact, a correct command of depth of field as an element that reinforces the point. central, and finally a vignette that incites our gaze to fall into the center of the frame.
Nice work, Jose. I like it.
