Weekly Challenge 83: Music

I know you were waiting for this challenge like May water… well, it’s here, like Autumn water 😉 but it has arrived.

How does it work? (Reminder)

Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in a photograph and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog, putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. The themes will be varied, from portraits to Macro photography, through landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The topics will be proposed on Saturdays, so that you have all the Weekend to work them. You will have one week to upload your photograph (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. On Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that has captivated me the most and I will propose a new topic, and so on…

Weekly Challenge 83: Music

Music touches our soul, there is no doubt about that. It can make you jump, shed a tear and even twitch, but it doesn’t leave you indifferent. Music is palpable, felt, permeates through each of the pores of your skin, it gets into your brain like a worm that drills you little by little, accompanies you in the saddest and happiest moments of your life, creates tension and emotion in movies, it fills entire stadiums, it keeps us glued to headphones for hours… Music is definitely something fundamental in our lives. And for that reason, this theme could not be missing from our weekly challenge.

This week the topic is “easy”, between quotation marks because access to the topic is easy, which does not mean that you can relax when taking the photo and send us a photo of a CD and walk… Curate it a bit and get us to listen to your image , that we vibrate with it as if they were musical notes, create harmony in your photography as if it were a piece of music, excite us with the colors, with the rhythm, with the composition, with the lines, or even with the perspective… Use the resources that we offer you in the blog and makes it inevitable to highlight your photo.

As usual, to participate in this week’s challenge upload your photo to the Facebook wall from the Photographer’s Blog: In the description of the photo please mention the keyword “Music Challenge” followed by a title of your choice.

Alternative Means to Participate

For those who do not be from Facebook I have enabled new social networks to participate.

• Flickr: accessing the Group Mural of the Photographer’s Blog and uploading the photo directly. Give your photo a caption and be sure to mention “Music Challenge” in the same.
• Twitter: uploading the photo directly to Twitter with the hashtag #BdFMusicChallenge

Happy photography.

Update

Musical notes have been playing all day from my computer, and not precisely through the speaker, but through the screen and thanks to all the photos you have sent to this last challenge. Violins, guitars, drums, pianos… and even voices have filled my living room with sweet and lively melodies. In addition to thanking you for your participation, I would like to share some of these melodies with you.

Despite being in love with black and white, this week my ears… (ahem…), my eyes have been caught by a color image. I prefer the “Musical Spirit” of H. Alberto Ibarra. The composition is wonderful, and not only because it respects the rule of thirds and the gaze, but also because it gives us a harmonic image, like the harmony that should characterize every melody. The light is spectacular, the golden tones that fall on the tree, the girl’s back and the guitar combine perfectly with the lower third made up of dry vegetation. The whole image is a harmony of colors and sounds, of soft sounds, like its tones. It’s a nostalgic melody, because that’s how this photo sounds, nostalgia, melancholy, that’s why the notes caressed by the wind invite us to listen to blues, soul… or perhaps a romantic ballad. What is clear to me is that it could perfectly be a frame from a music video. Congratulations Alberto for this beautiful photograph!
