I really feel like I got back into the swing of things this week. I felt inspired by a few ideas and was really excited to shoot some of the themes.
This week we had music, movie title and at night.
theme 7 - music
My daughter is always interested in getting involved with the annual photography challenge. This year she was only too keen to help make some ‘music’ while I took this image.
It was taken with a very shallow depth of field to get only the end of the recorder in focus and I love the way this focuses you straight to the ‘music’.
Face paint is model’s own!
theme 8 - movie title
Most years there is a charades style theme around movies. I had the idea for this at the start of the week but didn’t get a chance to take the shot until towards the end of the week and it was a lot of fun.
I ended up putting on the face paint myself and had to buy some large red balloons especially.
In hindsight I should have warned my wife that this was what I was going to do before hand.
If you haven’t guessed it yet the movie is IT!
theme 9 - at night
I have wanted to take a picture of our completely black cat for a long time, Every time I’ve tried (during the day) she just looks like a black blob with yellow eyes.
This theme gave me the perfect opportunity. I imagine that this is the last thing that the mice see when she is out hunting!
Next week is the last week of the challenge which is always sad (and a little bit of a relief). The final three themes are self portrait, beautiful and fresh.
