Welcome to a new weekly inspiration. Prepare your camera because in a few moments you will feel an irrepressible desire to take photos.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Weekly Inspiration format is an excuse to stimulate your passion for photography and invite you to participate, every week, with a photo of your creation.
Every week I will propose a photo so that you can be inspired by it. To participate, you will need to take a photo that is “inspired” in some way by the proposed photo. It does not have to be exactly the same, but be related to or inspired by the proposed photo of the week: you can use the same subject, the same type of subject, or photograph another subject and another subject but imitating the same light scheme, For example. Any well-worked photograph will be valid as long as it is clearly seen that it was inspired by the proposed photo, in terms of technique, composition or theme. Otherwise it would not be valid.
The themes will be proposed on Thursdays and the term to upload the photograph will be one week, until the following Thursday when I will propose a new call with a gallery of images that I liked the most, and one that stands out among all those in the gallery. Also, I will upload a new photo that will be the image that will serve to inspire you during that week. You will have until Thursday (with the weekend in between) to capture your image ( only one per participant), give it a title and upload it.
HOW TO TAKE PART
We put at your disposal various means through which you can upload your photography to our weekly inspiration chain. Remember that the idea is to upload a single photo per participant and in only one of these media:
- Facebook: Upload your photo to the Facebook wall from the Photographer's Blog. In the description of the photo, please mention the keyword #InspirationBdF103 followed by a title of your choice. Remember that the title of the photograph is as important as the photograph itself.
- Flickr: You can participate by uploading the photo to the Photographer's Blog Group Mural. Give your photo a caption and be sure to mention the hashtag #InspirationBdF103 in it. If you don't, I won't know if you want to participate or just share it, so it won't come out as featured. For this it is also necessary that the download is enabled ;).
- Instagram: Try to use the hashtag #InspiraciónBdF103 and give your photo a title that matches it ;). Remember that your profile must be public so that we can see your images.
- Twitter: Upload the photo directly to Twitter with the hashtag #InspiraciónBdF103 and a cool caption.
FROM LAST WEEK...
With these curious portraits you have delighted us this week:
FEATURED PHOTO OF THE WEEK
This week's featured photo belongs to Juan Carlos Pérez Jiménez and is titled “Tenderness”. Perhaps the title is the only thing that doesn't convince me about the photo, because it inspires other feelings in me. Now, ignoring the title, which sometimes makes it very difficult for us to find what we want to say (it's that our thing is photos, right?), I have to say that the image is very powerful.
I like the composition, that close-up in which only the eyes are in focus, because neither the nose nor the ears are in focus. What makes us focus all our attention on that look, which to me, more than tender, seems defenseless or sad, or emotional blackmail, like the child who makes faces to ask you for the chocolate cookie. And the chopped helps to accentuate this sensation. What is clear is whether tenderness or sorrow, or something else, it transmits, and that is a lot.
Excellent work also with the management of light, with the black background and with the black and white edition. It has the right contrast, the perfect lighting, the sparkle in the eyes that gives life to the look and the hairs that seem to be caressable and felt on your fingers.
Great job Juan Carlos, congratulations!
