I bring you a new theme so that you can go get your camera and practice your favorite hobby: photography.
Our Photo Challenge aims to encourage you to practice photography, to provoke you every week to spend some time with your camera and let your creativity fly while you practice and learn.
HOW PHOTORETO WORKS
The concept of Fotoreto is very simple: every Friday I will propose a new photographic theme. Sometimes I will show you an example photo to inspire you, other times I will simply give you a clue or a little trick that you can apply when making the Photograph.
On each occasion you will have 7 days to participate in the Photo Challenge of the week in question, until the following Thursday. Upload as many photos as you want to your favorite social network ( Instagramor Facebook) without forgetting the hashtag or label corresponding to the photo challenge in question along with the mention of @blogfotografo . This week it will be #Fotoreto103. You can participate with new photos or tag old ones.
Each week we will select a winning photograph. The author of the photo will take a book from our BdF digital book library .
When you participate in the Photo Challenge, we understand that you allow the Photographer's Blog to publish your photograph. In no case do you give us your copyright. The author of the photograph and who maintains the exclusivity of the copyright remains you.
THEME OF THE WEEK: BLUE (28/05/21-03/06/21)
Calm, rest, security, confidence... These are some of the sensations that the color blue can convey. Depending on how you use color in your composition , you will be able to evoke some emotions or others. And that's what today's photoreto is about. I propose you to put into practice everything you have learned so far using the color blue. You dare?
Add the hashtag #fotoreto103 and the mention @blogfotografo to your photos and don't forget to give them a title. One of our ebooks can be yours, what are you waiting for?!
UPDATE
You make it harder every time! With such a high participation and those little blue pieces from all over the world, making a decision is not easy. Thank you once again for making it possible.
We know that it is not easy to please everyone, photography is not an exact science, but rather an art and, as such, it is subjective. Could others have stood out? Surely. Although the reasons why this is by Marisol ( @marisoldiaz1), I'll tell you right now.
The main reason why we have chosen this photograph is because, in addition to liking it, obviously, it combines both history and technique and editing. A good photographer has to control these three aspects. One without the other loses strength. Together they always add up. A technically perfect photograph that counts for nothing, leaves you cold. An image with a story behind it, but which technically does not reach the acceptable minimum, will not stand out from the rest either. And editing or retouching is what makes you finish telling your story, that closes the creative process to transmit exactly what you want with your image.
And all that is what this silhouette with the blue background contains.
With a composition that gives prominence to the starry blue sky, the well-defined and separated silhouettes so that they are recognizable are silhouetted against the background so that we can imagine the moment of games between the girl and her dog. There is an action going on, she is holding the ball and the animal is waiting impatiently to go after it. That makes us stop, we get into the scene. The fact that we do not see everything, activates our imagination, to guess the color of the pet, or the girl's clothes, or even if flowers are drawn on the grass.
Arouse empathy and tenderness. On the other hand, blue is unconsciously associated, among other things, with security and trust, and I think that between these two co-stars in the story it is evident that there is, so it contains a coherent message.
Congratulations Marisol, for your beautiful drawing in the sky of a beautiful story.
And with this photograph we leave a huge clue for tomorrow's Photo Challenge. I know you don't want to miss it ?
