The month of May is almost upon us. I hope you had been saving those half and half photos during the year. Once again, I'm glad to host this year's Half and Half challenge, on behalf of Nicole Campbell.
If you follow the Half and Half Project on Instagram you will know they describe this type of photography as 'Parallel lines meet together in our minds'. It is a quirky way of explaining how to capture two separate scenes in the one photo.
Many 365ers have been participating in this challenge for the past several years now. It is a lot of fun. You can join for the whole month, a week or whenever you have what appears to be 2 halves in one shot. Some people like to set themselves a theme for each week and others like to mix it up and capture a different subject each day.
The challenge is quite simple, you just need to change the way you look at subjects/objects when you photograph them. Here are a few tips to help you:
1. Capture a photo that appears to be of two halves. For example, a solid wall in one half of the photo and a door in the other; or a tree trunk in one half of the image and the surrounding landscape in the other half. You are capturing what appears to be two separate scenes in the one photo, you are not taking two photos and combining them into one.
2. If you take your photo in a square format or plan to crop it square your images will appear symmetric and look quite nice.
3. You can capture horizontal or diagonal lines. How you approach the theme is entirely up to you.
4. Have fun. Once you train your mind to look at potential images in this way you will see them everywhere."
Pardon if I missed anyone; I will try to update this list in the next hour or so. Also, please ask your other 365 friends to join in for more fun. You just might get the random aces! on your photos!
Thank you for hosting. I am looking forward to this. Last year was the first time I tried diagonal halves. I loved how the month turned out. Not sure how I will do it this year.
