Photo Challenge Cards

#12 Photograph a Door

Posted on Updated on

This week I pulled #44 from the Lightbox Photography Cards set. “Doors are mysterious objects – and a natural subject for photographers.” This particular card had me walking around the neighborhood looking at doors that said, “Welcome! Come on in!” One door was bright red. I’ve walked that route almost every day on my morning walk with the pups and I’ve never really noticed it before. Some doors, had ivy in the entryways, manicured potted plants, or old newspapers piling up. This challenge card made me slow down and look and think about the subject. Funny though, I wasn’t carrying my camera to actually capture the images but it did remind me that I do need slow down and look around at all the interesting things around me. I did however have my camera phone when these pups were waiting to come inside.

 

#44 Photograph a Collection

Posted on Updated on

This week I pulled #44 from the Lightbox Photography Cards set “Shooting a collection is a fun challenge and the results can be very portfolio worthy.” My subject this week, Little Green Army Men. A classic toy that came into popularity during World War II. Most recently seen in the Toy Story animated series. These guys were part of a display that demonstrated 3D printing. All of the figurines below, were created using a 3D printer that day.

 

 

#34 – Photograph Macro/Close-up

#34 and Rosemary Blossoms

This week I pulled #34 from the Lightbox Photography Cards set. “Macro photography is a challenge all by itself with a wealth of subjects for you to choose from.” I took several photos that I thought fit the criteria of the challenge. The hardest part of this challenge? Getting close enough to the subject meant sitting or lying down in the dirt and rocks.
