15 rolls in 15 days - Day 3 - Parks & recreation
Welcome back to my challenge of shooting 15 days straight in the old school analog style by following these guidelines
- Max 36 photos per day
- Post at least 10 photos each day
- Turn off LCD screen so not to review images
You can check the first part of this series to see the reasons behind this mini project. I'll post my impressions and lessons learned at the end of it.
Hope you'll enjoy photos from the day 3
See you tomorrow :)
Is it getting tougher to find inspiration? You're doing a great job!
The night shots are my favorite - especially the long exposure shot on the bridge - you must be proud of yourself for that one!
The flooded lands and reflections are quite nice too. I like the second photo reflection making a complete square. You have a geometric theme in this one with squares, rectangles and circles. Funny how that just happens.
I can find inspiration easy, but it is tough trying to come up with a 10 decent and innovative shots each day with the limited resources. :) It makes me push really hard, which I love.
I'm glad you like the night shots - the bridge is really close to the recreational park and the lake and I knew it would be perfect for some long exposure shots. My favorite is the one with the red sunset, it was under the bridge and I was lucky to be there at the perfect moment, cause it lasted only like 10 minutes.
The flooded lands around the lake made for some really nice reflections. Although it was a challenge coming close enough without falling into one of the swamps. :D
hehe yes, you want to not fall in those swampy areas. The red sunset is lovely too - those colors don't last long unfortunately and the next day brings different color.
Keep on....you're doing great!
You found some more interesting subjects for your day 3. I'm awed by the night shots, that bridge structure really stands out and it's amazing to look at. I also noticed that you've gotten so good on this challenge, to think that you're only on your 3rd day. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next of this series you already master your style :-)
Yeah, the bridge is pretty photogenic, it's hard to make a bad photo of it. :) Great that you are liking the series so far! But I do have a long way to go to master my personal style. Who knows, maybe in the second season of this series when I will be shooting with the actual film camera. :)
Ive been wanting to ask, whether you were editing the photos for this series? Or these photos were untouched?
And yes, I'm liking the photos & idea of this challenge. It could lead you to a more disciplined photographer.
Cool shooting day you've had!
Maybe you could challenge yourself even more by picking a very small space, like one park or even garden or one street in your home town/city, and take all 36 shots there. And then pick the 10 shots from that one place that are most diverse/different from one another :-)
In the above 10 shots I see 4 shots with vertical lines reflected in some form of water. They could form a 'sub selection'/mini-series of shots that belong together :-)
Two random comments from someone who loves to look at and think about pictures a bit too much :-)
Hey thanks!
Usually when I go outside to shoot I have an idea where I'll go, like a park, a lake, a street, especially for this challenge. The area above turned out to be pretty huge :D - I must have walked 8 kilometers to go around the lake, the park and end up on the bridge.
I could have made the entire shoot about reflections in the flooded waters. That's a great point! I might come back to do it in one of the future days, if I don't find inspiration elsewhere.
Thanks for the great suggestions. :)
I love this post ❤❤
