I bring you a new topic so you can go get your camera and practice your favorite hobby: photography.
Our Photo Challenge aims to encourage you to practice photography, provoke you every week to spend some time with your camera and let your creativity fly while you practice and learn.
How Photoreto works
The concept of Fotoreto is very simple: every Friday I will propose a new photographic theme. Sometimes I will show you an example photo to inspire you, other times I will simply give you a hint or trick that you can apply when doing the Photo Challenge.
On each occasion you will have 7 days to participate in the Photochallenge of the week in question, until the following Thursday (in this Photochallenge82 it will be 14 days). upload your photo to your favorite social network (Instagram or Facebook) without forgetting the hashtag or the label corresponding to the Photoreto in question along with the mention of @blogfotografo. this week will be #fotoreto82. You can participate with both a new photo and a photo you have on file (only one).
Each week we will select a winning photograph. The author of the photo will take a book from our BdF digital book library.
When you participate in the Photochallenge, we understand that you allow Photographer’s Blog to publish your photograph. In no case do you transfer your copyright to us. The author of the photograph and who maintains the exclusivity of copyright remains you.
Theme of the week: Christmas (12/25/20 – 01/07/21)
Merry Christmas! Today, December 25, is such a special date that we could not convene another topic that was not Christmas. It is not original, we know, but we did not want to miss the opportunity. And this year with more reason, because as atypical as they may be for some, or very sad or nostalgic for others, we need that ray of magic and illusion more than ever. We may be very far from those we love the most, for the good of all, but it is something physical, I think that on an emotional level we are closer than ever.
In this Photoreto we are going to give you until day 7 from January so that you have all Christmas to take and upload your photos. From Christmas to Kings, through New Year’s Eve and for the rest of the days. Tell us how you are living these dates, what you want to highlight, remember, immortalize because, in spite of everything, surely there are great moments and precious gestures that deserve to be captured: the delivery of a gift, the Christmas lights that shine brighter than ever, the saved hugs, the tree, the absences, the distances and the caresses and the affections of those present. We want you to tell us about it and we want to experience it with you.
If you want inspiration to capture Christmas, here are plenty of resources. Remember that we value both the technical part, as well as the aesthetics and the history of photography. Take care of each and every aspect of your image.
Add the hashtag #fotoreto82 and the mention @blogfotografo to your best photo. The prize could be yours, what are you waiting for?!
Update
What a level of photos you have sent in this call. We have loved enjoying your Christmas moments and sharing them with you. You can see the photos presented on Facebook and Instagram.
The featured photograph of this #Photoreto82 belongs to @la_helen_ and is titled “Ja tenim l’arbre de nadal” or what comes to be «We already have the Christmas tree» 😉
This image could not be more Christmassy, as well as creative, and yes, it is a montage. But Photoshop is another resource that you can use for your photos and, on this occasion, it is very well used.
Christmas is for dreaming and in this photograph it is very reflected, the family moments, the preparations, the illusion, the fantasy and, of course, the red color so characteristic of these dates. And it is that, even in difficult and strange moments, we cannot lose that illusion, especially for our children, the true protagonists of these days, like this little girl who clings to the Christmas tree while flying over the vast forest, because, whatever happens, they shouldn’t be deprived of their right to feel the magic.
I also love that there is a dog and a cat in the image, because on these dates the differences are smoothed out, the opposites approach postures, we forget grudges and live with another joy.
Congratulations Elena for this cool, original and fun image.
Tomorrow new Fotoreto we change the third completely, a topic that you are going to want to touch. With this track I say goodbye, but don’t get lost, I’ll wait for you!
