Creative Photography: Lab 6
My blog friend Prairie Jill and I are working through Steve Sonheim’s book each week this year.
This week Steve is talking about missing the part of the old days of film and waiting for the prints to arrive in the post or collect from the chemist before you saw the results of your endeavours.
I clearly remember being very aggravated by this wait.
Paul used to do a lot of portrait photography, I used to write the camera settings down in a note book and then, depending on how much it cost we would wait a couple of days or a week plus for the prints to be ready.
We would evaluate the photos then try different settings and off we went again.
The day digital came into the house was a wonderful day indeed and was the same day I took up photography.
Any way this exercise seemed to want to recreate the waiting experience.
Steve suggested that we cover up the screen on the camera and take a picture every five minutes for an hour or so without looking, evaluating or deleting pictures from the camera.
When your eyesight is a bad as mine, looking, evaluating (other than to see that there is actually something there} and deleting doesn’t happen until the pictures are downloaded to the computer, which could be a couple of days if I’m away. So for me it was a nudge to get out on a dry day between endless rainy days and take some pictures. My son was tasked with setting a timer on his phone.
This resulted in gales of laughter because he said that I take a picture every thirty seconds! A timer was definitely redundant today.
I have twelve here that I have processed in black & white and put into a collage for you to see.
I am looking forward to seeing what Jill did with Lab 6.
The rest I am keeping for Lab 7 next week.

Which do you prefer?
Do you evaluate and delete as you go along or wait until you see the photo’s on your computer?

Week Seven
Linking with Helena’s wonderful meme. Zoom In Zoom Out
This week I am zooming about at the small beach in town. It is called Maderia Cove or The Family Beach. In the summer you can’t put a pin down here as it is full of families, safe because the the cove is filled by sea water but doesn’t empty with the tide.
It was a lovely walk along here although as the tide had only just gone out the walkway had a lot of water on it. We were walking towards the buildings, the cove is full on our left but the tide is out on our right hand side.
Five in Five on the Seventh
It was raining and blowing a gale on the fifth, I didn’t get out for a walk until the seventh. Perhaps I could post seven in seven on the seventh? And then post it here on the eleventh, anyway…
I was looking for textures for an upcoming project in Steve Sondheim’s book, Creative Photography that I am working through with my friend Prairie Jill.
I am endlessly fascinated by the sea wall that runs along part of our coastal town.

Kat Sloma is hosting her lovely postcard swap again this year.
These are the postcards I sent her today.
