A black and white winter scene showing a snow-covered landscape with bare trees and a small wooden structure on the right side. The sky is filled with thick clouds illuminated by soft light, creating a dramatic contrast with the darker foreground. Snow blankets the ground and dusts the branches.

Two pairs of bowling shoes are visible under blacklight on a vibrant carpet with star and ribbon patterns. One pair has neon green laces, while the other has black laces. The carpet features a mix of blue, purple, and white colors that stand out against the dark background.

Week 3 - Frames

Another hard week to find myself in a place for the subject. The first shot is from yesterday in an old barn filled with antiques. If you are looking for fine china, I know a very unlikely place.

Shots two, Castillo Brown in Portifino, and three, Split, are from the archives.

A silhouette of a model ship with detailed sails is set against a large window. Outside the window, bare trees are visible, suggesting a winter setting. Inside, various jars, containers, and glassware are arranged on the windowsill and nearby surfaces, creating a contrasting scene of indoor clutter against the serene outdoor view.

Antique

A person wearing a broad-brimmed hat and a sleeveless shirt stands facing an arched window made of wood and brick set in textured walls. Their reflection is visible in an adjacent mirror, which also reflects a chandelier. They have a strap over their shoulder with a bag and a water bottle.

Reflection

A black and white photograph of an old stone archway with a barred window. Behind the bars, there’s foliage visible in pots, indicating an indoor garden or courtyard. The stonework shows signs of age and wear, and a wooden beam rests diagonally above the arch.

Archway

A black and white image shows a snowy ground with a handmade sign reading SLIPPERY in bold letters. Next to the sign are two objects: a large funnel and an empty glass jug. The snow is uneven, with some areas of exposed dark pavement.

Struggled this week, no time to dedicate to photography. Hoping to do better next week.

The first one is from this week, two and three are from my last vacation in June.

A close-up of a brick wall extending into the distance, shown in black and white. The focus is on the texture of the bricks, highlighting their rough surfaces and the straight lines of the mortar between them. Light creates subtle highlights and shadows across the wall.

Bricks

A black and white photograph of a narrow street in a European city flanked by tall buildings with shuttered windows. At the bottom, a fountain shaped like a boat with people walking nearby. On the left building, the word DIOR is displayed above several windows.

Rome

A narrow cobblestone alley flanked by tall stone buildings with small windows and various wires running along their surfaces. The path leads towards a dimly lit archway in the distance, where two people are faintly visible walking in the bright light beyond.

Split

#TheCompoChallenge

A large utility pole stands in a snowy field, supporting multiple power lines that stretch across the scene. The landscape is mostly flat with a distant line of trees on the horizon. Overhead, the sky appears cloudy and overcast, casting a muted tone over the entire scene.

Lines

Not a lot to choose from so far this week, freezing temperatures and ice everywhere makes it hard to get around. Hopefully the weekend is better for photography.

#TheCompoChallenge Week 1

A bare tree stands prominently against a vibrant sunset sky filled with shades of pink and purple. The tree branches reach outward while the illuminated clouds reflect the deepening dusk. In the background, silhouettes of other trees and distant structures are visible, creating a serene winter landscape.
