Flat stones are stacked on top of each other on a snow-covered riverbank. On the opposite bank are large, snow-covered rocks.

Framed

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFramed #Photography #StreetPhotography #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A symmetrical, eye-level photograph of a large, six-panelled window set into a light grey exterior wall. Through the window, a white ferry is centred on a calm body of water, framed by distant green hills and a cloudy blue sky. Below the window, a wooden barrel planter filled with colourful flowers—including yellow, orange, and pink blooms—sits on a brick-paved ground. Dramatic, sharp-edged shadows from an overhead structure cast a geometric, crisscross pattern across the wall and ground, creating high contrast. The overall mood is serene and meticulously composed, with a clean, architectural feel.

I'm a day late, but didn't have time to edit yesterday. This is for last week's #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEponymous #AlphabetTechPhoto.

Used the new macro lens for a #portrait shoot of this black Wedgwood jasperware vase. #AltText

#BlueSkyMonday #ArtYear #Photography
A portrait shot of a trumpet shaped solid black Wedgwood vase with neo classical floral decorations. The vase has been photographed against a blue background which, depending on your particular device, may or may not resemble the darker of Wedgwood's two blue shades. Out of focus behind the vase is a blue leather silverware case with a cream silk rose and several white beaded necklaces draped over it. Wedgwood (established 1759) was named for its founder Josiah Wedgwood. The company became especially known for its jasperware (a matte finish stoneware developed by Josiah in the 1770s). The most readily identifiable pieces are done in the iconic combination of pale blue with white relief decorations. Jasperware is initially white, but was then stained different colours through additional processes. The very earliest versions were stained through with colour, but this shifted to a dipping process which is the case with the vase pictured. There are a few very small nibbles where the underlying white stoneware is visible.

What exactly is the #AlphabetTechPhoto challenge? 📸

It’s the technical sibling to Sheena’s #AlphabetChallenge! Every week (Sun-Sun), we take her prompt word and add a technical twist.

The goal? To push our skills and learn from each other. 🧵👇

Framed

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFramed #Photography #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A high-contrast, black and white photograph of a person walking through a long, vaulted stone cloister. The subject, a person with long hair wearing a light-coloured trench coat and dark trousers, is captured in profile while walking and looking down at a mobile phone. They are illuminated by a bright beam of light cutting across the walkway, while the surrounding Gothic-style arches and heavy stone pillars recede into deep, dark shadows. The composition uses the repeating pointed arches to create a strong sense of depth and symmetry, framing the subject in the centre of the frame. The overall mood is moody and cinematic, emphasising the play between bright highlights and dramatic shadows.

Should be a fun week but still challenging given we have to Frame some Leading Lines for the #AlphabetTechPhoto sub-challenge.

I've added some info in the Alt about leading lines and thankful that we'll back at this location on Tuesday. A place where leading lines and framing come together.
Leading lines are a powerful compositional technique where natural or man-made lines—such as roads, fences, or rivers—are used to guide the viewer’s eye through a photograph toward a specific subject. By creating depth, structure, and a sense of movement, these lines (often starting in the foreground and moving toward the background) enhance the narrative of the image. Key Aspects of Using Leading Lines: Types: Lines can be straight, curved, diagonal, or converging, including paths, shorelines, trees, fences, shadows, and architectural elements. Direction: They typically originate from the bottom edge of the frame to lead the eye toward the subject. Purpose: They create a three-dimensional feel in a two-dimensional image, adding depth and focusing attention. Technique: Using a wide-angle lens can enhance the effect by exaggerating the perspective, especially when shooting from a low or high angle. Examples and Tips: Roads/Paths: A winding road leading to a distant mountain. Architecture: The convergence of walls, pillars, or staircases. Nature: A riverbank leading to a waterfall or a line of trees. Composition: Pair with the rule of thirds to place the subject at the end of the line for maximum impact.

Just a reminder peeps that when posting to the #AlphabetChallenge please use your own original pics, or credit the actual photographer if you use someone else’s. Anything else is poor show…
