Do you dare to capture emotions?
HOW DOES IT WORK? (REMINDER)
Every week I will propose a new challenge , it is a topic that you will have to capture in a photograph and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog, putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. The themes will be varied, from portraits to Macro photography, going through landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The topics will be proposed on Fridays , so that you have the whole weekend to work on them. You will have one week to upload your photograph (one photo per participant), until Thursdayof the following week. On Thursday I will update the article with the photo that has captivated me the most and on Friday I will propose a new topic so that you have the whole weekend to capture your images, and so on…
WEEKLY CHALLENGE 187: SADNESS (FROM 12/2/2016 TO 12/8/2016)
Photographing is capturing and transmitting emotions . It can be through a landscape, a portrait or even an object. The job of the person who shoots is to evoke certain emotions in the viewer and for this he has different resources and tricks . Today I am going to challenge you to put them into practice.
It is about capturing the feeling of sadness, using all the resources at your disposal to convey someone's grief or awaken grief in your audience. The most important thing is that you really feel what you are capturing, that will be the secret ingredient in this recipe. On the other hand, remember the moral limits that you don't want to cross ? Your camera is waiting for you!
As usual, to participate in this week's challenge upload your photo to the Facebook wallfrom the Photographer's Blog: In the description of the photo please mention the keyword “Sadness Challenge” followed by a title of your choice .

UPDATE
You have done a very good job because I just lost a body… and that is a holiday ? But hey, I'll take the positive side and that is that once again you have responded great to the weekly appeal. Reason enough to celebrate, thank you! Here is a brief sample of the work we have received:
And this week's featured photograph is “Isabel”, by Ani Anriquez. Isabel's innocent tear has broken my heart. Oblivious to the camera, she cries because of a sadness that is real to her, her emotions are real, although sometimes the motives of children seem so silly to us that they would even make us laugh. We do not know the reason why Isabel is crying, but it is clear that what she feels is pure and that is how the author transmits it. I like it because without needing black and white, in a colorful environment, the tear becomes even sadder, where there should be joy there is sadness. It is the type of contrast that usually works to impact the viewer. A great success is the natural framing of the plants that give greater prominence to Isabel's face, with a large opening that allows this frame not to steal attention or disturb her, If not the opposite. The fact that the gaze is focused enhances the feeling of anguish, there is a lack of air in front of her, she is trapped in sadness. An excellent portrait, congratulations.
