Dupain #1

I thought I might take a stab at the artist's challenge this week. I don't usually do well with them because of the limited capabilities of my little p & s, but I'm going to see what I can do with what I have just for the challenge of it all. So, here's my first attempt. It's not great, but it's a start.

This is great Ann, well done on participating in this challenge.

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! This was the first try. I'm going to attempt a few more as the week goes on.

[Rick Schies]

Way to go Ann. I've never tried them either.

[Rich Hubbard]

Nice shot Ann, yes it can be uncomfortable trying something new.

[Colleen]

Well done!

[PamSnaps1]

You are such a brave soul! :) I think it is a lovely photo also!

[Richard Tyson]

congrats on a good entry!

[Dione Giorgio]

Very beautiful.

[Bev]

I'm not sure what Dupain means but this picture is very well done.

Thank you so much Rick, Rich, Colleen, Pam, Richard, Dione, Bev (he's a well-known Australian photographer- see the artist's challenge for a link about him and his work) and Dione!
I am encouraged by your encouraging words. I have a few more ideas to test out in the coming days before the deadline.

[Carole Imes]

Haven't had a chance to look up anything on an artist's challenge so not sure what this involves and probably wouldn't have time any way. But, I do love your shot. It is artistic and creative!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cimes1 His work is quite comfortable, calm snaps of everyday life, so that's why I chose a cup of tea for the first one.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

This is great just because and I saw Gary's try and this has same feel so you must have hit how that artist dupain works...I need to look up dupain's work and check it out....never heard of him.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth. If you go to the discussion thread, there are links posted that will take you to some of his work. He is a well-known Australian photographer who shot in b/w and took mostly "snapshots" of daily life. I want to take a few more- hopefully I'll catch a few before I hit the road.

[summerfield]

how'd i miss this one? wonderful perspective and the blurry effect is quite engaging.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield It's supposed to be a quick snap of real life and although Dupain's work was always in focus, I was going for my version of his idea, not an exact copy of it.
