i am at the cottage and woke up this morning to a wonderfully thick mist... walking down to the lake i enjoyed the simplicity of the buoys lined up with the paddle board...
for my push challenge set by @lanikyea although i'm not quite sure this meets the mark... i was asked to shoot a minimalist image, in b&w high or low key, that would express joy to the viewer... what can i say - i revel in mist :)
@lanikyea - i'm not quite sure this counts as high key, and i'm also not sure that this would express joy to the average viewer, but the mist does make me happy and processing this any lighter kinda ruined the mood :)
@northy I'm a big fan of your work, as your partner this week I would like you to try a bw long exposure of an image inspired by Michael Kenna and without using ND filters. Tony Northrup uses this technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcZkCnPs45s
Alternatively you could do a documentary image in the style of Dorothea Lange
@adi314 thanks for the challenge Adi!!! i quite like Michael Kenna and was thinking of using him for the Dogwood flattery week (I'm behind)... especially as i am at the cottage with some opportunity for low light long exposures on water...
just watched the video and it gave me a huge chuckle... i have several ND filters, and i have polarizing filters for ALL my lenses that are pretty much permanently attached!!!! i've also wondered whether they do any good, but i leave them on "just in case" (although i'm pretty sure they are worth it for helping with the sun on snow glare in winter shots)...
however, i am intrigued by Northrup's approach for mimicking a long exposure shot so i will give that a go... tx!!
@northy I agree, they can come in handy. for example my computer does not have enough memory to handle putting together so many images, so in that case, I will keep the ND filter lol

I hope you like your challenges.
