Weekly Challenge 42: Happiness!

Moods are one of the themes that most resists the amateur photographer, photographing an object, bullet, burger or bad-taste portrait is one thing, while portraying and transmitting a mood or emotion is a totally different one. capture one of these moods.

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. 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?

  • As I said at the beginning.
  • Photographing a state of mind is not that simple.
  • No.
  • It is not about photographing a happy or sad person and that’s it.
  • It is about getting excited and feeling the main subject of the photograph.
  • This is the viewer watching.
  • The photo.
  • Forgetting the subject for a moment and maintaining the emotion.

Today, tomorrow and throughout next week, I want you to take your camera and represent a state of mind: that of joy. It can be a portrait, but it can also be any other type of photography. The main requirement is that all of us, when we see it, think the same thing: “Joy!” If with your photography you manage to convey this emotion to us for a few seconds, it’s even better!

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, please mention the keyword?Joy Challenge? Followed by a title of your choice.

For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.

Thanks for your participation. Joy!

To update this challenge, I bring 15 different expressions of joy, submitted in a timely manner by blog readers. This challenge demonstrates that a sense of “timing” is essential to obtaining a beautiful photograph that represents a true human moment. The examples below are graphic testimony to the joy that the people depicted felt at that time.

When I proposed the “Cheer” challenge I didn’t even think about finding a photo of this nature, but the joy that accompanies an erotic moment is, in my opinion, one of the most sincere and honest expressions of joy.

The photo seems to have been taken by one of the happy lovers, spontaneously. I like the bodies to occupy a diagonal line in the frame. Does the photo have the right amount of light to outline the silhouettes and smiles of the characters, without losing the rating of “Suitable for all audiences”?

Finally, photos are rarely as captioned as the photo as is the case here. Timeless afternoon.

Congratulations Paulina.
