Scavenger Hunt Sunday



When I saw the first prompt was low-key I really have to admit
that it took me a minute to realize that low-key had something to do with
photographic lighting, of course and nothing to do with relaxing or being easy
going at least for the purpose of this hunt.

 So yes, I had to 'google' it and what I found out was that low key refers to a photographic
style that uses mostly dark tones and selective lighting which produces a high contrast image.   On one
of my walks this week I found this barrel in the shade with the sun peeking through just
enough and on only a portion of it. I think the elements of low key are here, I'm just not quite
getting the same dramatic feeling I might have gotten had the subject been a person.

1. Low-key: This is a prompt that I would love to try again.



2. The color wheel: monochromatic/analogous color

 


3. Circles: This is a wind chime that I'm sure I have walked by a million times before
but noticed it a little more because of this prompt! I think a few others noticed it too
while they wondered why on earth I was taking a picture of it! haha


4. Scarf : My dog ate it?  If you have a good imagination, it's a zebra scarf with fringe
and I just didn't get a picture of it.

 
5. Telephone: I really had no idea what I would do for this one until earlier this week
I ran into this. Although there really was no phone inside . . . Hmmm I wonder,
could it have been abandoned by Dr. Who?



Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!
Love, Kim

I would have loved to have taken that red phone booth shot - so few of those around here now in the UK - mostly in private collections.

Wasn't Low Key such a great challenge - I want to try it again too and you really captured the light and shadows in your shot.

The lighting on your circle shot is just brilliantly beautiful! Love, love LOVE that capture! FYI, I had no idea what "low-key" was either until I hit google. WHAT did we do before Google???? :)
