Annie's challenge to me: "This week how do you feel about going to page 5 of your mcs-gp and redo one of the images/challenges?"
I chose to have another attempt at zoom burst. (Actually that challenge was to use a 5 second exposure, but I chose to do my 5 second exposures as zoom bursts.)
In January of 2022 I shot Christmas ornaments that I was putting away. This time, I started by posing my pigs on the bookshelf. They were too small so I tried a larger silver owl, then went on to a bowl of sea shells and next a basket holding shells. After trying a bottle with fabric flowers, Finally, I decided to just use the shelves with the books and skip trying to add something else in there. So...you get books--Celtic-themed books, to be more specific.
Hi how about a monochrome high contrast image, it is apparently a trending photo style for 2024!
here is the blurb about it from a website I wont send you to because it has annoying popups
Monochrome Contrast
In 2024, high-contrast photography will captivate viewers with its bold and dramatic visual language. This style is marked by its ability to distill an image to its core elements, emphasizing a striking range of tones from deep blacks to bright whites. The essence of this trend lies in simplicity and strength.
Its approach often evokes the mood of classic film noir or the dramatic chiaroscuro techniques used in traditional painting. Focusing on the fundamental interplay between light and shadow, it doesn’t need to rely on color saturation or intricate details to create an impactful visual experience.
Monochrome Contrast
Key characteristics:
Light and shadow interplay. High-contrast photography is defined by stark differences between light and dark areas. This creates dramatic shadows and highlights, adding depth and dimension to the image.
Bold tonal ranges. This trend is known for making bold visual statements. It creates a significant emphasis on a wide tonal range, from deep blacks to bright whites. This range helps emphasize the subject or draw attention to certain aspects of the composition.
Texture highlighting. High contrast accentuates textures, making them more pronounced. Textures under such lighting conditions can add a tactile quality to the image, making surfaces and materials stand out in the photo.
Minimal color distraction. Although high-contrast photography can have color, the strong contrast often reduces the dominance of these hues, making them less distracting and allowing the viewer to focus more on the composition.
