Day Three: “Scale” — Experiment with Size

* A bakery in New Orleans, Louisiana, serves its famous king cake with a little plastic baby hidden inside. Here is one such figurine, posing on an iron fence in the Garden District during Mardi Gra
* Today’s Tip: Don’t just point and shoot. Observe your scene before pressing the shutter and consider how all the elements in the frame interact with one another. Make an object appear larger through a ground-level POV. Place two things side by side in an unexpected way.

“I went into a clothing store, and the lady asked me what size I was. I said, ‘Actual’. I’m not to scale” Demetri Martin

Dudes

Dudes from the present
Dudes from the past
Many a time may have been spent
But they’ll always have a blast

Straight Line

“Who stepped out of the line?”

“Not I, Sir,
Not I!”

Bonded

Together we may be bound
But a more stronger
A bond cannot be found

Left Standing

I am still standing
After all these years
The times have been demanding
Shed my share of tears
But growing stronger
The much longer
I here keep on standing

Day Three: “Water” — Image Orientation

* We all have stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it symbolizes a place we’ve left behind, or one we dream of visiting.

Water

“I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir” David Bowie

Drip Drop

“Drip drop
Drip drop…”

“This will not stop,
Before my ears will pop!
Damned pretty rain drops!”

“Drip drop
Drip drop…”

Sparkly

Sparkling tiny drops
Onto the leaf they popped

“Delivery here!
From the near by shop!
Your order as per requested,
Some freshly made rain drops”

Sea Otter

“More water,
I need more water”

Said the sea otter
As he played with Flotter
Getting even more hotter

“Waiter,
Where is that damned water?
I made the order
At least ten minutes ago!”

Day Two: “Mystery” — Manipulate Light

* A photo can create a mood and communicate an idea that transcends its subject. At this performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, there was a sense of anticipation, enhanced by dramatic lighting that revealed silhouettes on stage.

“Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne” Bryan Procter

Red Light 

Red, red light
Shining oh so bright
In the middle of the night
Well, alright!

Red Light 

Something extremely mystic?
Or a red light district?
In the midst of suburbia?

“That is very unheard of”
The elderly lady scoffed

“I will surely get a hernia
Unless I leave for Serbia!”
And, she was off

Day Two: “Street” — Establishing Shot

* Today, let’s focus on a street. It can be a quiet road blanketed in snow, an alley covered with murals, or a busy avenue where pedestrians weave between cars and motorbikes.

On the Streets of Helsinki

“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive” Carrie Fisher

 Street Zombies

Roaming wild
Woman, man and child

“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”

There is no stopping
The street zombies
They’re not looking for bodies
But all new produce

“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”
