The Tuesday Photo Challenge is a weekly theme-based challenge for photographers of all kinds to share both new and old photography. This week's theme is forward.
I struggled with the challenge this week. When I could visualize the word "forward" I could not capture a photo. Some of the participants posted images of things in motion or the tracks left by moving things. I looked for ways to do that this week. The roads near my home are narrow one-lane-ditch-on-side country roads. There is no stopping to take a photo.
I had nothing in my catalogue similar to any of these. I shoot mostly architecture, landscape, and macros. I have some images I shot during a high school football game but I don't find them interesting. We only go to see our daughter perform in the marching band.
So what to do?
Post a randomly chosen image from the set of images of the marching band. I removed one of the field lights form the upper right-hand corner, applied a Fuji ACROS B&W filter, and used Nik's Dfine 2 to remove some high ISO noise.
Both of these images were shot on a Fuji X-T2 with the Fujinon 16-55mm f/2.8 XF R LM WR.
UPDATE: After I posted this, I felt that an image of the marching band was more appropriate, so I added the band image as the feature image. I like the marching band photo better.
Wow- great shots!
I missed this on the first go-round. What a wonderful shot the band is, and football is good too.
Great shots. Having been in a marching band, I naturally prefer that photo.
The marching band may be the only reason my daughter still likes school. 🙂
She's an excellent student but marching band is her passion.
this is cool 🙂
Both of those pictures are awesome! Perfect pictures for the topic!
Thank you. I just wish I could have taken a new one instead of using the archives.
I find that sometimes photo challenges bring new life and purpose to archived photos that would otherwise be forgotten.
So true. It was only on Sunday while I was struggling to think of something to post for the challenge that it occured to me to use the football and marching band image.
Very appropriate and a wonderful shot.
Thanks for the encouragement, Charles.
