This month’s Sinful Sunday challenge was ‘silhouette’ and, man, was it a tricky one.
First I tried silhouetting myself against the porch light. Then against the garage sensor light. Then against the bathroom light. Then against one of M’s DIY painting spots. In the end, though, it came down to a cheap IKEA lamp and practically sticking my boob and the clover clamp on top of the bulb.
This month’s Sinful Sunday prompt is ‘Black and White’:
“Not to be confused with monochrome which means ‘one colour’. I am looking for purely black and white images. No Sepia, no Cyanotype, no Split Tones, no Infrared etc just plain ole Black and White.
However, in order to add interest I am going to suggest that it would be fun if we all posted the original colour version of the image alongside the Black and White so we can see how the two compare.”
Ever since I took my triptych images for the last Sinful Sunday competition, I have become more and more interested in how I light my photographs. The below picture was lit almost entirely by the glow of a fire (hence the post title) with a little stray light coming through the doorway of an adjoining room.
I’m actually not sure whether I like the black and white or the colour version, with its very orangey tones, as the two variations give me completely different feelings. Which do you guys prefer?
Oh, and ten points if you can spot the stray piece of LEGO I forgot to pick up off the floor before shooting this!
