This is what membership received from the organisers:
Expressions Group Meeting and Assignment – Monday, January 23
We will start with a short presentation (about 15 min), Intro to Light Painting by Chris. Then the rest of the meeting we will showcase the work of members who submit the following:
We are asking that you choose one (and only one) ordinary household object and photograph it 3 very different ways; that is, show us 3 different ways to view this one object. And please make sure that it is an ordinary domestic object, that you have around the house - no exotic souvenirs from trips abroad. The fun is to use something ordinary and make us see it in very different ways.
Everyone's "series of 3" will be shown in a slide show, after which, each member who wishes to share with us how and why they shot their object, will have a chance to do so in a friendly and informal atmosphere. Please note: this is an assignment not a challenge so it will not be judged.
Please give your 3 images the same title but number them with the sequence you want them displayed, eg., Bowl1, Bowl2, Bowl3.
A few hints: you can change your angle of view, use different lenses, use color, use B&W, use different lighting but most of all use your imagination! Make us see the extra-ordinary in the ordinary.
The link is up so you can start submitting!
Cheers,
Chris and Ness
Last Christmas I was browsing at our local Dollar store. Sometimes you can find amazing stuff there. I came across a bag containing 6 plastic snowflakes. It matched the idea of my Christmas table setting, which was going to be ice, shimmer and fire this year. So I did spend a whopping one dollar.
This is how my table looked.
And then on that same table I have snap shot these 3 images for the camera club’s challenge with my cellphone. I have not cropped, edited or adjusted anything on these shots. This will be my challenge entry next Monday.
My photographic adventures never stop, even when it comes photographing a simple inexpensive plastic snowflake, I thrive making it look glamorous with low tech camera equipment…
It is all about styling and imagination... To see it larger please click on the image.
