Weekly Photo Challenge: State of Mind

Oh, the Places We See — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 13:39:54 +0000

I haven’t taken a class — not a real one with homework, at least — in oh, about 30 years. So, you can imagine my state of mind this weekend as I attempted to satisfy the requirements of a non-credit photography class. That’s right — a person who didn’t know an ISO from a White Balance is attempting to improve her picture-taking just a wee bit. In over my head? Possibly. At the least feeling a bit frazzled and frustrated.

So, here’s one assignment I worked on this weekend: Take a variety of pictures to demonstrate line, shape, form, texture, and luminance. Here’s what I’ve gotten so far.

Line

Lines converge in an old rush chair seat.

Shape

The shape of a weathered, old buoy.

Form

Always recognizable — the form of a conch shell

Texture

A weathered birdhouse ready for new residents.

Luminance

Bathroom towels welcoming the sun.

Not bad for a start. But oh, how I wish I knew PhotoShop! Maybe next semester.
