Apples in a basket
Playing with apples, side light, angles, depth of field and post-processing, I’ve created another image I’m not used to creating. I quite like it but expect more. Moving on… has become a motto of this project of mine.

White, round and minimalist
Week 3 of Be still 52 invited us to gather various table tops and back drops to have interesting and suitable foregrounds and backgrounds for our photos. After rummaging in our house I’m perfectly sure there is not much to use, I need to buy a few things to start with. For the time being I decided to follow a challenge offered by Kim to those being already stocked with tops, textiles and backgrounds, which was to use any or all 3 of the following prompts: WHITE – ROUND – MINIMALIST You know me, I wanted all… and created the following image: It’s not a typical still life, rather an…

Moving on
On Sunday I finished successfully the Art of Photography course with all of its videos, quizzes and assessments and could download my Certificate of Achievement. It feels great to accomplish something I had decided to accomplish. The course enriched me very much and I don’t regret the time and energy I invested into following it.

I’d recommend the course to anyone who would like to acquire or brush up on their photographic perception. It contains some technical stuff but also points at various principles and ideas that may…

Evaluation of my 52-week photo project
2014 will soon be over and I’d like to evaluate the 52-week photo project I started at the beginning of the year. If you are interested in hearing what it was or was not good for, sit back comfortably and read on. It’s quite personal and it would be a different process for you but I guess we are not that different in many regards. First of all I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to my wonderful husband for supporting me and helping me with everything I needed. He was often accompanying me, sometimes taking his own photos, sometimes just being there with me which also helped. Further I…
