shot of blue
Leslie F. Miller
I have this cool, crenelated silver cup. I have no idea what it's
for, but I'm thinking of giving myself a crown with it later this
afternoon, because I have, you know, nothing else to do.
Anyway, I was cruising around Utata, not adding to chapter
one, when I saw their Iron Photographer #18 assignment,
which asked participants to show a soft-focus item that has
something blue reflected in it.
Good thing my mom gave me her empty Saratoga Springs
sparkling water bottle this weekend. It was delicious
water, too.
Have a nice day!
The Iron Photographer Challenge
Here are the elements for Iron Photographer 18:
1 - a mirror
2 - something blue reflected in the mirror
3 - soft focus
The first element, a mirror ought to be pretty clear. We're talking about a mirror, not just any old reflective surface. We don't care about the size of the mirror. We don't care if it's broken. But it must be an object that was intended to be used as a mirror.
The second element, something blue reflected in the mirror, is also pretty self-explanatory. Again, we don't care what it is; we only care that it's blue and that it appear in the reflection of the mirror. However, the camera or the photographer should NOT appear in the mirror.
The final photograph should have a soft focus. We don't care how you achieve that effect. Put gauze over the lens, smear the lens with petroleum jelly, use a filter, shoot through a screen window, use some sort of digital post-processing magic...it's entirely up to you. We also don't care how soft the focus is, though we think it would be a good idea to avoid making it so soft that we can't identify what's in the photograph.
