Project MCP: March
Things change. That's what happened to Project MCP. We started the year with Project 12, and now it's just Project MCP. Each month we'll be given four challenges to capture at some time during that month. Here's the first four:
- Challenge #1 – Take a picture from a high vantage point, from above your subject
- Challenge #2 – Capture a photo using natural light.
- Challenge #3 - Express the following word in a photo: Transition
- Challenge #4 – Create a “guess what” photo – this is a photo that is so close up that the subject becomes abstract.
I haven't exactly got the first one done yet, so if I knock that out in the next three days I'll post that one too.
Challenge 2...natural light. I love how the light is hitting Ada's face in this one. I love her expression too. Usually when I take her photograph she's either very giggly or very upset (because she wants to hold the camera). This day I had my camera out following her around that morning, so it was boring to her I suppose. And, yes, those are her Christmas pjs she's wearing in March.
Challenge 3...transition. This was taken the same morning. It was not my intention to use this for this challenge. I was going to use one of us building with blocks...transition from a pile to a tower, but as I looked through the photos this one struck me. Those little hands have grown so much in the last 18 months. They can do so much more now. Wow...seems like not that long ago those little hands stayed balled up in a fist most of the time. It's amazing how she's grown, and how she continues to grow and learn.
Challenge 4...guess what. This one was fun. In fact, I took several of these, but this seemed to be the most abstract. I may even do one of these a week, and let readers decide what is it. Any clues for the photo below? Well, with this crazy weather it's already time to plant those summer flowers. The pansies are melting in this heat. This is one that fills many a pot this season. A begonia...or rather the stamen of a begonia.
Okay, now I'm off to high places so I can get that first one finished!
