The Quintessential Shots

[Daniel Sutter]

So, after completing my first 365, joining this community, and looking through everyone's photos, I realize there are many similar shots amongst what seems like a majority of us. The ones that come to mind are the moon and the keyboard (piano) from the side. What are the other quintessential shots that we all take as part of our 365's, and how can we differentiate them from the rest?

Feel free to post examples from your or others' work. Here's my keyboard shot.

[Emily Holle]

nobody else's cat is on a crown!!

[Dawnetta]

Two come to mind... the water drop shot and the ring shadows...





Ah, yes, and light painting...

[Jennifer B.]

Similar to the ring shadows, there are also the folded page book-heart shots.
The only one of these suggested so far that I've done is a moon shot, but it's not just the moon.

[Suelbiz]

Well... I also have a keyboard shot. :-)

[Genesis Lomax]

[Big Mac]

GUILTY!!!!! there's something about books.. i gfuess... i've seen a lot... and yes MOON AND WATER PHOTOGRAPHY!!! hahhahaha

[Annie Charalambous]

@candidcaitlan I want one! I haven't seen one in years :(

[Michelle Sheils]

I'm guilty of a lot of these, also there's the 'smoke shot' that I can add to the list :)

[Ashley]

I am guilty of the dandelion one :) lol


Also I think there are a lot of butterfly and dragonfly shots, which I am guilty of too!




There are bound to be similarities when so many people are doing this. I personally love to see shots similar to mine to see what I could do to make it better :)

[Michelle Gaynor]

Yet another keyboard!! But I wanted the picture to reflect how it is very much a part of our lives, hence my son and his music right there!!
I am fascinated by "Full moon" shots, how people get the detail, each are so similar and yet some are exquisite, some are quite... ordinary. I have yet to be able to master that, all I get is a white blob!!

[Flamez]

colouring pencils all in different ways tho but theres a fair few about , this is mine :



i too am guilty of the smoke one lol

[Flamez]

im also very guilty of splash water shots :)

[Vikdaddy]

yesterday's shot was a quintessential 'old shoes' shot

[Kaitlin Boatwright]

[Sara R]

Flames!

[Giselle Sanchez]

Most people have a shot of their converse shoes. When I saw mine I thought I needed to tell a brief story with them instead of have them stand alone.

I title this one : Can you fill my shoes?

My piano:


a frosty dandelion:



or not frosty:



light painting - love it!






a sunrise:


or sunset/shadows:


can't forget reflections,


bees,


bokeh,


sun flare,


babies or reminiscences,


but maybe most of all our loves and joys!
