I read somewhere about ideas for photo projects and assignments one could take up to practice and hone their photography skills. I felt like trying one out and decided on " A color a week". You pick any random color and click photos of that color everyday for a week. It could be of anything, but as it is so restrictive, it makes you more observant of your surroundings (after all, it is not easy and you have to search everywhere for your chosen color), gets your creative juices flowing and you learn how to photograph mundane things in an interesting manner.
I chose purple and started walking around the house everyday for sometime looking for purple things. Sometimes I made great discoveries but many times there just wasn't anything interesting enough.
Day 1
I really like the way the writing fades away in this one.
Day 2
A string of beads that I made to decorate the living room curtains.
Day 3
Umbrella!
Day 4
This is one of the worse ones. The day was almost over and I was out of ideas. Then I noticed that my toothbrush was purple. I clicked the same toothbrush again and again from different angles till I was fed up, trying to get a decent picture, but this was the best I could come up with. One thing I learnt from this is that it is really difficult to make your toothbrush look beautiful. :)
Day 5
Art supplies. I don't know if this is cheating or not, but I did it anyway. :)
Day 6
Only one day left! Its been fun, but for some reason I can't wait to get this project over with. This is a picture of our toy cupboard and I used selective color to make the purple one stand out, because otherwise it would be lost among the colors of the rest of the board games.
Day 7
Another selective color picture! I really like this effect. The fact that I do is also apparent from the number of pictures I have taken with it. :)
And so, we come to the end of this little journey. However, the end of this one is only the beginning of the next. I leave you now, but my head is bursting with crazy ideas and it won't be long before I'm back with another silly project.
Until next time then! :)

nice!! i like the way you used selective color in the last one. but isn't there supposed to be one more pic? like the 7th pic?
ReplyDeletetoothbrushes are used to make your teeth beautiful, good job in returning the favor!
y wld the art pic be cheating?
Sorry, late upload on the 7th photo.
DeleteWell, the point of the exercise was to use my observational skills and imagination and bring to light things that ordinarily go unnoticed. Also, it is a challenge to find purple things everyday, so clicking crayons is like giving up. :)
You have amazing ability to compose the pictures with most striking effects with very ordinary objects in our lives. I don 't know why you did not like the brushes shot. They seem to be in a get together having a conversation. Yes your last picture is the best of all. Lighting and aspect are superb. I am not sure if the crayon scene is arranged. The orientation of pencils really made it all the more pointy :) and sharp.
