Week 2 ~ Scavenger Hunt

I was thinking about this one all week and Nick's comments of traffic cone and garden gnome were not helping. I eventually asked him for some random objects to photograph when he gave me the challenge of finding an object in each room of the house starting with S. The lounge room was the biggest challenge as apart from all Nick's Assassins Creed statues I couldn't think of a single thing......until I saw the Star Wars figurine............


Skull - Studio
Spoon - Kitchen
Scarf - Bedroom
Scent - Bathroom
Star Wars - Loungeroom

Flower depth of field

So we all return and I make week one just in time... Am starting to consider a new camera, the trusted Samsung has been a fantastic friend, but now they no longer make her I think it might be time to get myself a big boy camera...

Week 1 ~ Flower Depth of Field

I decided to start this year with a 52 week project to get my beloved Nikon back in my hands and to expand my photography a little (not to mention start using that nemesis of mine - flash!). Still being a little jet lagged I am a day later than I planned to post and Mick beat me to it this week. Hopefully all three of us this year will be able to complete the project and who knows there might be a book at the end of it.

A little different from me today as it was depth of field and I had these gorgeous carnations from a friend I set the aperture to f1.8 and I was rather pleased with the artistic background with side light from the kitchen window. I tried a couple of other placements of the focus flower but decided I liked the off centre one below. Some post production in upping the contrast and week 1 is complete.

Now to think about week 2.........
