If you’re wondering what that word is, it’s because you haven’t read the great article my colleague Iaio published this week. Well, “zooming” is a technique that uses zooming to create a sense of movement in the image through convergent lines, and that’s also the theme of the weekly challenge. Don’t be afraid, read the article and you’ll see how easy it is (and without Photoshop!).
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?
- I understand that you’ve been on the link before and read the article (or at least you’ve seen it).
- So you know what zooming is and how to achieve it.
- If you haven’t already.
- I recommend that you do so before you continue reading (unless you know what this is about first or even be an expert on it).
Well, now I can tell you that you will understand that a challenge only of lines that converge in the center (or some other part of the image) can be something flat, so even if the theme is “Zoom”, it is not worth making the effect and that is everything, because then it would be very difficult to highlight one image on the others. And I don’t mean getting bored anymore if you want to walk through the gallery and see other people’s pictures. That’s why this week I encourage you more than ever to be creative, very creative. For example, the author of the cover photo pretended to be in a comic book. Your image should be original, different from the rest, even if it is characterized by the zoom effect. If you want your photo to be in the gallery or highlights of the week, break the coconut (not literally, eh ??) and do something different, something that makes us jump out of the chair or that we want to share. An image that says “milk!”” What a beauty!” or as it says in your country.
I’m waiting for your pictures!What if you’ve lost your inspiration? Check out this post for the muses to come visit you. .
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? Zoom 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
What I like most about challenges is how you put into practice what you have learned on the blog, so for another week I have to thank you for following us, reading us and practicing, which I never tire of repeating. Practice is the maxim of this noble art and anyone who wants to master it. And as an example of your essays, I leave you this gallery.
This week I really liked the photography of Kiko León. It may be my passion for writing, but how do the letters come off the keyboard? it’s like when they call you to squeeze them, one after the other and all at the same time! Zooming in on this image has a surprising effect and the composition is quite interesting, the lines produced by the zoom subtly direct the gaze towards the notebook. Two ways of writing so different but at the same time complementary. In the notebook, he captures the ideas that are projected through the keyboard, just as the image is forged in his mind and takes shape through his camera. Again, black and white is a good idea to focus all attention on the letters followed by the beam of light caused by the zoom. I imagine the author writing a science fiction novel in which the letters take on a life of their own and accompany him in the exciting task of creating a story that blends in with reality, reaching a point where he doesn’t even know what is true and what is the illusion. Congratulations Kiko!
