At the end of last year I discovered Photochallenge.org. This is a small group of photographers who set forth a weekly challenge to other professional and amateur photographers. What I was drawn to with this weekly assignment is that is pushes you to try new techniques and get out and take pictures on a weekly basis. I'm taking part again this year and will also do a quick blog post about each of them. The rules of the challenge do require that these are new pictures, not from your back catalog. With my busy work schedule, I may not be able to get out each week and do this, so I will likely add a few of my older photos on the blog--taking the opportunity to look at the plethora of pictures I've taken and actually do some processing and weeding.
2016 PhotoChallenge Week 25: B&W Textures
This past week's challenge is right up my alley! I love black and white photography--perhaps because I grew up with a B&W TV for at least some of my childhood (try watching Voltron without being able to tell what color the robots are...) I'm usually drawn to textures when I've got my camera out--always snapping shots of rust, peeling paint, wood grain and more.
2) Fuzzy: This tiny plant's fuzzy filaments really struck me while taking pictures this fine day. I may have taken about 30 shots of these guys but this one is my favorite...
3) Wood & Metal: This is an old one from our trip out to Fort Ligonier in Pennsylvania. They used all old style techniques to recreate the old fort and all the old reinforced wooden doors and gates were a wonder to shoot!
4) Fluff: This one is also an older shot. I took this in the backroad ditches behind my family cottage a few years ago when my cousin Kathleen and I went out on a walk with our cameras.
