Blog on Photoblogs

Here we go again.  Another new featured image.  This time I came across Marcie Scudder’s Daily Practice the other day (Did I mention how much of a fan I am of Google Alerts?).

First thing, the photoblog name is just awesome - Daily Practice.  This sums up how you should be approaching your photoblog, practice.  Don’t be afraid to experiment, have fun, and try some new techniques on your site!

Now let’s talk a little about the image that I selected.

Colour Saturation
This one is pretty obvious, Marcie image has some serious pop and in my opinion that’s due to the colour saturation of the flowers when compared to all other aspects of the image.  It’s a great technique to draw focus to the main subject in your image.

Rule of Thirds
Am I an avid follower of the “Rule of Thirds”? No, not by a long shot, I believe in experimented with my work, but it really works in the image!

Light to Dark
Another technique to draw people’s attention to a certain area of the photo and again I feel that Marcie has nailed it.  The vignetting makes the flowers pop even more!

Make sure that you check out Marcie’s photoblog today! She’s posted some fantastic work!

Marcie’s work reminds alot of one of my favourite photography books Welcome to Oz, by Vincent Versace.  It’s a must-have book for anyone who takes their work seriously.  I highly recommend that you get a copy if you don’t already own it.

Also, I owe an apology to the last two featured folks who had featured images,

• Bbouwsema
• Urban Views

Thanks to some blog editting on my end, I messed up and their write-ups weren’t showing.  Please make sure you show them both some love and check out the featured image and their blogs.
