Changing the background – a new RegularRandom idea

What a difference a background change makes?!

These first two sets of photos are taken in exactly the same location and conditions, but I have merely swapped out the placemat that sits under the vase. Firstly, I used a white placemat, then swapped it for a black one.

I have been thinking about adding a new idea to RegularRandom. Usually, we spend 5 minutes shooting a single scene, without interfering with the scene. I’d like to introduce a new variation – take a single object (in this case a vase of flowers) and shoot it in different locations.

Stick to the 5 minute rule, that’s what makes it fun, but see what you can come up with!

 

 

Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how:

Version 1:

  • choose a subject or a scene
  • spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
  • try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s hitting it
  • have fun!
  • tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

 

Version 2:

  • choose an object
  • spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
  • put the object in different locations to see how the background or surroundings can change the way the object looks
  • have fun!
  • tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

Looking forward to seeing your shots.

    Oh, the drama with the black background. This reminds me of Julz’ dark and moody photography–I love it.
