Scavenger Hunt week 17

Oh dear. I’m not sure what happened this week. Five photos from two people. Tsk tsk, what a poor turnout! There will be no “picks” from me this week since there’s really no competition.
My bridge shot turned out alright, though a little blurry. The bridge and point of view are interesting, but my positioning was not that great. Just an average shot, I’d say.
Jump was a fun topic to do, but my legs hated me for it the next day (I climbed up and jumped down those stairs onto concrete for a good half hour). The sense of movement are interesting but in the end I gave up trying to get a “perfect” shot because my feet hurt!
The shot I took for framing was not intended as a “framing” shot, and it didn’t really turn out to be a proper one either. I quite like it, even though it’s not particularly fantastic, because it gives a view of before entering a bustling, busy, excited stadium so shows off anticipation. Plus, I never crop shots square so it was fun to do.
Socrates Smith’s framing shot is a much better example, and I quite like the shot. It’s a bit of a pity that the flash went off which makes the tower difficult to see, but I know how hard it is to do a night shot with an IXUS 55 and no tripod.
We’re into the eighteenth week now, and the topics are:
- Letters (suggested by innercreation)
- Ride
- Architecture
I really hope that people put in a bit of effort this week; it really doesn’t take that long to take a photo and upload it. I know a lot of people say that “don’t have time”, but to be honest, if you really wanted to do it, you’d make the time.
