‘Signs’… of a One Hour Mini Project…
by Rodney Campbell on Dec.08, 2012, under Life, Photography, Street
I attempted another mini project during the week. I didn’t have enough time to spare in one lunchtime to do it all on this occasion so I spread the time over two lunchtimes walking the streets near my office.
As with the last mini project I limited my time – this time to an hour in total – and I retained the limited equipment choices. Again I only shot with a single prime focal length (the 35mm f/2) and again no post shot cropping allowed and only a relatively simple conversion of each to monochrome.
For this mini project I started with the idea of “Signs” – at first I was taking this more literally (as in road signs :)) but eventually included other symbolism as other ideas came to mind (in fact I had many more I would have liked to have tried if only I could have found subjects or things to match the ideas). Time and locations however proved to be elusive but I still think the experience limiting options is good for photographic growth…
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
and onto the show – thoughts?
