I have been bad again - could not resist this camera at un auction - I been looking for this black and red "Kraftwerk" camera last year - Polaroid Supercolor 645.
It´s the best colors and it will be cool to play with then winter is over or indoors. Next week its time to buy Polaroid 600 film at Brunos Bildverkstad to test this camera.
The goal for this challenge is that instead of just looking at a photo for 1sec, you’ll have to take time to really study the photo. To identify what you like about the photo, and what you don’t like.
Perfect with photography books when it snows outside..
Last chance to see Tom of Finland at Fotografiska in Stockholm.
Swelling muscles and genitals, extremely masculine and erotically confident men who enjoy sex together – Tom of Finland's drawings leave no-one unaffected. The photographs he took of friends and partners, to use as inspiration and reference-pictures for his world-famous homoerotic drawings, are now exhibited for the first time at Fotografiska. Curated by Berndt Arell, in cooperation with Fotografiska's exhibition producer Jessica Jarl, The Darkroom is an exciting study in artist Tom of Finland's (born Touko Laaksonen) life and work-process – something that originally took place in dark rooms. This year it's 100 years since he was born, and once again there are forces trying to relegate homosexual desire into dark closets.
So this is not a joke! I never ever ends a challange I know that.. but for now I cant start with my project so I need to play around with my new camera. Why not a new challenge that I found online?
Welcome to the 52 Weeks Photography Challenge!
/Kevin Mercier
Each week of the coming year – 2021 – you will be presented with a photography challenge. The challenge will be either based on composition, on a theme, or on a feeling. You will have to take one photo to fulfill the challenge.
During this Photography Challenge, you will make good use of composition rules, tell compelling stories, and convey emotions. If you stick to this challenge through the end, you will undoubtedly be a far better photographer than when you started.
Composition: The challenges in the Composition categories are challenges that will make you work on your composition. A powerful composition is the key to a powerful photo; with 10 photography challenges on Composition, you’ll greatly improve your skills.
Theme: This category is the broadest of the 3. In the weekly challenges, a broad theme will be given. The theme is open to interpretations, and while restricting you to a specific theme, it will still give you the freedom to create as you wish. There are 30 challenges based on Themes.
Feeling: The last category of the 3, Feeling is also the hardest. In this category, the challenges will be based on Feelings. The goal is to convey a specific feeling through a photograph, the ultimate goal for most photographers. There are 11 photography challenges around Feeling, and they are mostly in the last weeks of the 52 weeks challenge. This will give you time to improve your photography with the other challenges before being ready to tackle these ones.
You will find below the complete list of the 52 photography challenges, ordered from week number 1 to week number 52.
I lost 2 shutter button with beautiful skull from Danish Cam-in and now I have a new third one. Got the tip from the store "Kamera Doktorn" to use a little nail polish but not much. Keep fingers krossed that this will be the last that I need.
Some days you should just stay in bed all day. Today I had one of those days. Did not start good at all.. I found out that someone did not like my photographs and that is ok but I took it hard and I usually don't care at all.
This week can only getting better from now on and why not with some music from Finland?
