We are in winter (at least in the northern hemisphere) and what better than to call a challenge that represents this cold that we are going through, it looks like we are at the North Pole!
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?
- These days we are experiencing the cold in our bowels.
- At least in the northern hemisphere.
- As I said at the beginning.
- But of course.
- It’s normal.
- It’s winter! That’s why this week I’d like to encourage you to represent the cold in your images.
- It’s not exactly a challenge in winter.
- But in the cold.
- I emphasize it because you don’t have to limit yourself to this season.
- There are many themes or elements that may be related to the cold that are present in other seasons.
- For example an ice cube.
- Which seems to be present in summer.
- Or you can use the cool colors.
- With the theme you want.
- The challenge is to transmit the cold.
- No matter if it is with a snowy landscape or with an object.
- Because what I would like is to challenge you to learn to transmit sensations through the tools you have.
- In the photographic world.
- One of them is color.
- That doesn’t mean you just shoot in color.
- You can also broadcast cold in black and white.
- But you know that?.
Remember that for your image to stand out in the challenges, not only must you respect the weekly theme, it must be “round”. In a photograph, are the composition, framing, creativity, light, story you tell or the sensations you transmit important?I’m too heavy on these things, I know. But I also know that you follow this blog because you love photography and because you want to learn and grow with each photo and that’s the reason for the challenges, help you grow. And that should be your biggest motivation when you participate. That’s why you need to put all your senses into orbit by shooting and practicing what you learn here (or there?). This time you’re sure to “freeze” me when I see your picture, what are you waiting for to find your camera?!
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?Cold 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
One more week, I am surprised by your response and can only repeat myself in my thanks for your participation, are you the cane of Spain and the whole world?
Wow! Well, so you can get a little cold like I just did, I’ll leave you with a gallery of select ones:
This week I called a? Oooohhhh !? watching the? icy fog? by Alberto Suarez Dosantos when we have the information. I found a landscape as spectacular as frozen, that’s what it was about. But what I liked the most about this aspect was that, despite photographing the obvious, such as ice or snow, it was done in contrast to warm colors, but in an imbalance that evidently unbalanced the balance towards cold and this. it was done using the horizon rule and leaving two-thirds on the ice to convey more sensation of cold than heat. Quite a success. It also achieved a sensation of enormous depth, with the vegetation in the foreground and the distant mountains, a good resource to make the image more attractive and guide the gaze. He also used a really interesting perspective, because depending on how you look at it, it looks like it is at eye level or done on a higher level. Or at least that’s the feeling it gives me and I love it, because it’s different and because it makes you stay a while looking at the photo and thinking, how great it would be to be there right now, to feel the cold on your feet and with a frozen nose. , but with an immense feeling of freedom, of peace, to breathe the pure air (although cold?) of nature and contemplate the wonders that our mother Earth offers us. By the way, I take the opportunity: let’s take care of her, please, she gives us everything and how little we appreciate her! Congratulations Alberto! A? Hot? greeting (to counteract the cold you put us) for you and the other participants.
