The second half of my photos from this lockdown photo challenge. My kids were really eager to be involved in as many of these photos as they could be and it was great to do a lot of these with them. My daughter even took and entered some of her own.
It’s felt great to have the camera out regularly and to take an edit all these images. Maybe I should set some of my own challenges…
day 6 - window
The eyes are on a window on the soul apparently and I just love how innocent the eyes of a six year old look. Plus I got a reflection of a window in too!
day 7 - easter
This was a lot of fun setting up. I cut of the bottom of a big Easter egg and had to get my son to look like he was taking a bite while shot up through the egg. He thought it was brilliant.
day 8 - sky
I really struggled with this theme. With lockdown in place and not being able to go anywhere I found it very difficult to get an interesting image of the sky. Luckily we had a nice sunset but not really enough clouds in the sky to make the most of it.
The lady who runs the photo challenge reminded me that not every image has to be a masterpiece.
day 9 - colour palette
My take on colour palette was that nearly all of my most commonly used items have no colour at all. I’d never tried taking a ‘flat lay’ image before but really enjoyed this. Plus I realised my kitchen floor makes a great background for it.
day 10 - movie poster
My daughter was so excited about this - she got put on real make up (briefly). This was a take on the Black Swan movie poster but with a six year old as a model. My favourite of the challenge and therefore a satisfying way to finish.
I really enjoyed this format of a photo every day. It adds an element of intensity and pressure which makes it more enjoyable and engaging in my view. Can’t wait for September again now!
