My One-a-week project (2011)

enzodm · Jan 10, 2011

I decided 365 is too much, while 52 might be ok. So, I started my One-a-week project for the current year. Technically one week is gone, but as I shot at least a picture in the first week, I'm respecting my counts

.
As I do not like to put people on the Web without asking permission, and as my wife, being my first model, does not like to be online, I'll mostly put pictures without persons' faces. Unless something changes.

So, let's go.

I like your clean, strong images with narrow depth of field. Eventually you may want to find someone to photograph who is OK about showing up online. I tend to do nature photography where there are no faces, but people love to see other people.

Thank you.
In fact, I cannot imagine 52 photos without a face. I simply never asked much, but I will do. I'll also take some picture with more DoF, as soon as I get tired of all such bokeh

The first picture is fantastic. You brought out a lot by turning it into a B&W photo! You should do a collection with just people and no faces. See what kind of results you get. It could work out well.

What kind of equipment are you using?

I like both photos. They are both very interesting!

enzodm · Jan 12, 2011

Thank you both.
Kamesg: I find difficult to deal with people cloths, so BW is an easy option for that. except in the second picture, where the yellow polenta and orange shirt did not clash. I'm using Canon xs and in these pictures an old manual Rikenon 55/1.4.

Ok, something different. I suspect this is the case the place photographed is much better than the picture, anyway, week 3 is this one

.
Done with an old manual Zeiss Jena Sonnar 135/3.5 at f/8 or so, free hand, 100% crop (I would say: good definition). Sky was really blue due to the splendid sunny day and altitude too.

No: polenta (cooked in a modern pot, not in the traditional copper paiolo ).

I really like both of these photos, but I especially love the kitchen shot. I'm mesmerized by how you caught the swirls of steam, especially by the person's hand in the background. I look at a ton of cookbooks and nice cooking magazines and this shot would fit in any professional cooking publication in my opinion. There's something about it that makes the viewer believe that he/she could smell what was being prepared, which is what a great cooking shot should do. Or maybe I'm just really hungry right now?! LOL

I also love the shine on the silver pots...it's the details that get me in this photo. Very nice work.

. This comment make me think I've been able to put in the picture what I wanted (or you are really hungry - in the background there is some fish risotto cooking

). I took a number of them to stop movement in some decent way.

Polenta and fish risotto? Have you considered culinary school in addition to photography??!! YUM! :drool:

Lost this comment! I'm in charge of cooking, in my home. Not always but mostly. Anyway, in the picture it's not me but a couple of friends, for a friends dinner (where I contributed with a cake

). Fish risotto was the best dish of the day.
