52 Week Smartphone Challenge: Week 17: Balance

I admit to being somewhat flummoxed when I read the description for the weekly challenge.

Balanced composition is pretty straightforward unless you are trying to shoot in the "Accidental Renaissance" style. So shoot a balanced image in the Accidental Renaissance style.

Hugh? What? What is an "Accidental Renaissance" style? I did the Googe search, visited a bunch of websites and still felt "unseated". But that is what I get for basing my challenge on key phrases from another photography group.

Amy Maranto and theonlyD800intheHameau submitted their interpretations of the challenge. I'm not sure if what I have submitted counts.

This image also counts toward my submission for my iPhone 11 Pro 365 project.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: Week 16: Shadow

I was making my breakfast this morning and noticed, like every sunny morning this week, the shadows created by the morning sunlight coming over the trees through the kitchen window. But this time I paid attention for a while watching. Just watching. But soon had my Fujifilm X-T2 in hand experimenting with light and shadow. You can see my results in Day 28 of my Isolation Photo Project post.

It was later, after sitting down with my mug of coffee to catch up on comments via WordPress Reader, that I realised that I had not yet created any images for the weekly smartphone challenge.

It’s a shadow self-portrait with me standing in front of the sliding door in our living room. It was captured in Adobe Lightroom Mobile.

Amy used Hipstamatic to create her shadowy image.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: Week 15: Any Given Trail

I'm not telling you where this trail is. I don't want the citizen vigilante Gestapo to take away the last bit of "mental health" therapy I have left. It's not a state park or forest or wood. It's not a federal park or forest or wood. It's not a municipal park or forest or wood. As Amy wrote:

... it could be any number of the trails that surround my village. I am grateful to have access to them.

The Only D800 in the Hameau has me pondering "who's that cat"?
