The Black and White Landscape

Photography challenge, week 5

This weeks theme - Landscape: Black&White. 

Look for a scene with great contrast that will make a great black and white.

I have not jet decided which picture to enter. 

Still looking for inspiration and still have a few days left to take a "just right"  photo.

Portrait: Headshot

Pätu

This week was very difficult.
I so wanted to get my man and the dog on the same picture.
But the man is ill and says he´s not photogenic.
The dog is very active, so i bribed him. He is almost two years old, still acting like a puppy. 

The new year has started fast

The new year has began so fast that I have forgatten about my blog. But not anymore.

I have started a 52 week photography challenge. The discription from the page:

Unlike most photography challenges which are just a simple list of ideas, this 52 week challenge is designed to push your photography to the next level. This list is going to be more challenging to complete than a simple 52 week photography challenge list. But stick with it to the end and I guarantee you will be a better photographer for it.

There is no specific start date for this challenge. Each photographer in on their own journey, and only competing with themselves from week to week. If you wish to form a challenge group and compete with each other based on this list you are welcome to do so! If you form a challenge group drop me an invite I would love to watch the progress.

Weekly Challenge Categories:

Each week, the weekly assignment will be in one of 3 categories:

• Portrait: Portrait photography is really about capturing the essence of a person in an image. A portrait image can range from a classic portrait to candid, or from street photography to a selfie. Each time this category comes up we will dive into a different area of portrait photography. The main focus should always be a person/persons (or maybe a pet).
• Landscape: In the context of the #dogwood52 photography challenge, this category is pretty broad covering both traditional landscapes, and some non-traditional areas such as urbanscapes. Don’t be afraid to really explore your surroundings in this category. If the focus is the environment you are in, it will qualify as Landscape in this category.
• Artistic Impression: When this category comes up, you really have room to express yourself. You can interpret the assignment literally or figuratively. Unlike the other two categories that are more focused, the main focus of this category is to let your creativity shine.

My first 3 pictures:

Judas Priest in Tallinn !!!

Fireworks and a new camera lens.

I bought a new lens for my Nikon, A Tamron lens. And i wanted to try it out right away. 

There was fireworks at the park, so we went to see it. 

I took about 200 pictures and about 4 are the ones, i could show to the rest of the world. It´s not easy :)

Work

I  work in a warehouse. In Finland. We have tools and stuff for building. Indoors and outside.

But we don´t have food, and stuff that looks like it might be similar to food, has been forbidden to eat.

That was the highlight of my day :D
