Jill, Marsha and I continue to work through our Creative Photography Book.
Week 14 is called The Hunter.
Steve Sonheim believes that creativity flourishes when constrained. Mine certainly does. It is my favourite photograpic exercise.
Steve’s gave us 6 items to find, prompts which made me work to think out of the box.
The prompts:
Orange ~ I was at the garage having my car washed and noticed a pile of rusting lorry bits. (This is also where I saw the cracked mirror that I used for PAF this month)
Careful ~ the sign on the car on the Weston Eye, well, eyelet.
Tight ~ the tightly pruned and wrapped yew trees I saw last week.
Range ~ the range of two wheeled bikes I saw in town
Petit ~ I noticed this on one of those single glass bottles of wine at the supermarket
Grave ~ I failed and went with the obvious for this. I wanted a grave looking face but each time I asked one of the ladies at my lunch to make a grave face she (and everyone else) laughed!
Off to see what the other ladies came up with.
It’s always interesting to see different takes on a set of prompts. Love the avenue of yew trees and that orangey rust. Great collection of shots.
You came up with some great photos for those prompts I especially like the rust one.
I really like the orange rusted lorry bits! And the tight rows of yews!!!
Prompts like this are so much fun! You are doing a great job of keeping up with these challenges.
This must be such fun to do – and I very much like your avenue of trees, and that rusty orange. Great mix of close-ups and far-aways too.
Very clever ideas here! I especially love what you did with petit, range, and tight.
I must say, you always surprise me with your response to prompts–especially to “Six Words Friday.” You are mentally, and photographically, creative!
Yes, constraint makes us do something different. That’s one reason blog hops are appealing.
