Now, for those of you who know me well, when I dive into something, I dive into it full cannonball mode. Not only did I do an entire year, I did a second year, not missing a single day of picking up my DSLR camera and taking at least one shot.
Looking back on some of those early shots, I think I would be embarrassed to even show those shots the light of day today. I can distinctly remember a shot of three different kinds of hotdogs. Who posts photos of hotdogs anyway? Yeah, well I did.
One aspect of photography that has intrigued me over the years has been street photography. When I first started doing the project, I rarely took candid shots just walking down the street. Over the course of the first year I became bolder and now I find myself enjoying taking street photography. This particular shot is one of my better street shots I've taken. Because I feel street photography works better in monotones, that's how I usually process them. Every now and then, I'll post a street photograph in color, but most of the time, I find the black and white aspect of the shot gives it more detail and dramatic effect.

I like the black and white as well, it really fits with street photography or photos that are taken quickly.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
Thank you very much.
DeleteI always like seeing your street photography. You have a way about doing it. I'm not good with it, so I really enjoy seeing those who do it well.
ReplyDeleteAs for hot dog photos ... I take and post photos of hot dogs from my baseball travels!
Thanks. As for hot dog photos. I understand the photo of the hotdogs from baseball games, but this was just a photo of some hotdogs in there packaging before we'd started cooking them. The photo was just terrible.
DeleteThat is a good shot. I like how the musicians are prominent and the background less so. I take a fair number of pictures with my little canon and my phone, but I'm not a photographer by any stretch. This prompt was right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. You might find the 365 Project something that you might enjoy. The challenge is to take a photo every day, but if you don't, no worries. It's your project. The thing that it did for me was it got me to use my camera more, making me a better photographer.
DeleteSometimes I forget about black and white... then I'll take a few and will love the look. Then I forget again. Thank you for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI actually would very much enjoy a photo of a hot dog. Anything unusual. I get tired of standard flowers and clouds. :)
If the hotdog was done right, I wouldn't have a problem with it. The photo of the hotdogs I took was abysmal. As far as flowers and clouds. I can't get enough clouds, probably because we don't get many clouds in California. Flowers? Flowers are easy. Anyone can be a good flower photographer. I once challenged myself not to take a flower shot for an entire month. IT was difficult because flowers are so easy. However, doing that forced me to look elsewhere for inspiration.
DeleteHotdog photos are definitely a thing, Paul!
ReplyDeleteGoing through my picture folder tells me that I usually don't go longer than two days without taking pictures. It's mainly when I am at work. OR if I'm not happy. When we do stuff I don't like, I don't take pictures. 🤣
Tamara, I can understand the not taking photos things. It's always easier to take photos when you're in a good mood. And how dare that thing called work get in the way of the things we really like to do.
