52 Week Smartphone Challenge: Week 11: Fill the Frame

17 March 2020 | Apple iPhone 11 Pro | iPhone 11 Pro back camera 6mm f/2 | ISO 125

I am one week late with my response to the 52 Week Smartphone Challenge. The challenge was to fil the frame with one colour but between planning for getting my college-age children home safely and preparing for a full-time remote work situation and keeping up with the constantly changing rules around COVID-19, finding a photo for the challenge was a low priority.

Today I photographed parts of the door to our kitchen pantry. There was minimal thought or effort involved and minimal editing.

Amy Maranto and The Only D800 in the Hameau both photographed flowers, while Gavin Crook captured an interesting "name on bamboo" image. Check them all out.

Fill the Frame

The challenge is to fill the frame of the camera with one colour. After some thought, I decided that that meant that I should focus on textures. I could fill my camera frame with a flower, but that would mean a trip to the grocery store or florist. I walked around my backyard looking for monochromatic surfaces that had interesting textures. I explored the surface of my weather-worn deck as well as a tree stump in the yard. I am not happy with the results.

This is a photo of a patch of winter grass in the back yard.

Using Fill the Frame is a great way to isolate your subject and create interest in your photo. Can you do it with only one colour in the frame? Fill the Frame with one colour.
