This Week in the Digital Photography School Forums (21-27 Aug ’11)
Weekly Assignment
We finished up our assignment on the Joys of Childhood this week. And in one of our rare outcomes, we had a 3-way tie for first place. So this week, in no particular order, we have three really stand out shots that we think captured the joys of childhood.
First up is Specialks boy with a a boot. Getting dirty is often a part of childhood, but what really made this shot special was the sense of wonderment that was captured on the little boys face.
Next up is cgibbss boy in a swing. Once again, its really the expression that catches the eye here. And the out of focus person in the background also helps contribute to the story. Not to mention it being a perfectly timed action shot.
And finally, we have Meggsieks little girl setting on the grass in Life on the Farm. One of the greatest joys of childhood is being able to sit around with your toes in the grass and the sun on your face, and once again, you can see the joy and relaxation in the little girls face.
Well done everyone!
We also started our latest assignment this week, which is Trees. With such a simple topic, the hard part is making it interesting. Whether its a single, lone tree, a forest, or something in between, try using an unusual point of view to create interest. As always though, a quick reminder of the rules. First, your photo must have been taken between 17-31 August 2011. Second, your post must include the word Trees and the date the photo was taken. Finally, your EXIF should be intact, and its useful if you can include some of the main points, such as camera, lens, shutter speed, and aperture.
Next weeks assignment will be Found Objects. Maybe its something you see along the side of the road. Maybe a treasure you found in your attic. Have you find something that seems unusual or out of place? Keep your eyes open and really look at the things you might not generally notice for our next assignment.
