Photo Challenge 2017 Week 11: Long Exposure – Fireworks

Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On July 18, 2017

For this weeks photo challenge I chose fireworks because of having more than one opportunity to take some photos with the Calgary Stampede having them every night.

The first night it was a bit cloudy, so the pictures had clouds in the background, but when I went another time it was a clear sky and the pictures turned out better.

Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On July 11, 2017

This weeks photo challenge is from The Daily Post Photo Challenges. This past weeks Challenge was Bridge. I went to Moraine Lake the other day and while on the way back I stopped into a spot in Lake Louise that I found in May. Just before getting to this spot I had seen the photo challenge and I got an idea while I was walking on a path and I knew I’d have the idea photographed before I left Lake Louise.

For this weeks photo challenge I chose the challenge after taking some photos.

Photo Challenge 2017 Week 7: Bokeh

Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On June 20, 2017

For this weeks challenge I chose Bokeh as the challenge. I've been seen different pictures online that gave me this inspiration for this challenge. For the picture with the hearts behind the mug I would do a few things differently next time. I would make the piece of paper in front of the lens bigger and would cut out a bigger heart, so there won't be a shadow cast over the majority of the picture. I would also have even lighting on both sides to try and avoid the shadow cause by the mug. Read more [...]
