Week Eight : Self Portraiture - 'Interesting angles'

Every project theme seems to awaken something new in my creative thinking, and that's a good thing! This week I decided to tackle various angles to see what variety I could achieve. Obviously there's no end to the possibilities but here's a look at my weeks efforts.

A visit to the local Hynds yard was an interesting one, and as before it meant adhering to safety regulations on site but it wasn't a problem. I was pleased to achieve these three shots.

 This photo was taken down the length of a long concrete pipe - interesting view I thought.

By shooting into the sun I achieved a querky shadow that's different.  I like the shapes created by this angle.





The nest two give a fresh perspective of life in the kitchen. I enjoyed playing around with my camera - even stuck it inside the dishwasher and the fridge, generally goofing around!
Anyway the first is taken from the floor, perhaps this is how our cat sees us?

The second one was from on top of the fridge giving the opposite viewpoint.

I love stairways!
I wish I had access to more, especially those very old sweeping staircases that lend themselves to very glamourous photography or conversely something very old and dark - um... my imagination keeps growing with fresh ideas!

So yes, we have a stairway and this next photo would be my favourite of the week.  I like the way the light is falling and the abstract nature of the pose invites one to think.

This next ones a bit different, taking it up close and personal.

Following the theme of feet a bit here's another interesting angle!

My last photo shoot for the week caught both the serious and stupid side of me!

The first was just chilling out in a reflective mood.

Finally on a lighter note, I thought I'd try to capture myself in a mid air jump, you know those crazy stunts young people do!

Well, first I'm not so young and jumping isn't my usual habit, but even so I got some fun shots and the satisfaction of the effort. Thankfully no one was watching!   ..."silly lady...."

I purposefully took these shots on an angle - my first time trying this.

So thanks for laughing with/at me!

And thanks if you've taken the time to follow my blog - let me know what you've enjoyed?



REFLECTIONS:

Creativity has no limit, so I'm continuing to explore the possibilities.

God 'rested' on the 7th day; and I'm appreciating that taking time to rest helps restore my creativity. Continuous output becomes draining - so I may not blog quite so often but hopefully the result will be still better work.

I need to do some study to balance out my skills - maybe?
