Week 33|34 B&W Challenge: Set the Stage

[zulu42]

This challenge will run until September 18, 2021.

The B&W Challenge is a fun thing, no competition and no prizes, this challenge will run for a period of two weeks. Please, only new photos taken during the duration of this challenge.

For this challenge I was going to do still life- but I thought it could be more loosely interpreted to include any shot for which you position an object or objects in the frame. It could be a "standard" tabletop still life with a vase of flowers or fruit bowl, or think of other objects you can position for a photo: a car, a broom, a shopping cart...
I've found that, for me, setting up a still life shot is more difficult than it seems. I've seen some elegantly arranged shots - but not by me! Form and balance are the key here. Enjoy!

As with the images above, I created a still life from what's already present. It's only up to me to create the order. I love to work in this
manner. It's really how I process things. It is almost always a still from a still.

I was using the 14mm for the other weekly challenge and decided to use it to shoot this for the current B&W challenge. I'm using this model to help a Boy Scout get his aviation merit badge.

This from the rust row at the Michigan Flywheelers Museum. Their huge property had so many beautiful displays. I have several pics of these wonderful setups. Just have to develop and scan them. They had a tractor show this past weekend.

This type shot is just sooooo much harder than it appears. I never was good at this, but will swallow my pride and allow the insults and written beatings to take place
