The Photographer's Challenge

01. resignation

This was the first day of the challenge and the first day of my time as unemployed. Very appropriately today’s word was “resignation” which I gave my employer about a month earlier.

November

For the very first photo of the challenge I was sent to Amager to a residential neighbourhood with rows of one-family houses. I was placed in front of a specific house and went looking for something “resignation”.

It was late autumn so I found a tree without any leaves and as a added bonus the tree in the background had a lot of yellow leaves. The result became the photograph below.

Leafless tree resigning for the season. Yellow leaves in background.

December

For the recreation of the photographs there are no restrictions on location. For the first December photo I was in Aarhus to see the Book of Mormor, and on this day I went for a walk to find a park with a leafless tree.

I succeeded in finding a leafless tree and I could also compose the photo to have a tree with yellow leaves in the background. The result is shown below.

Comparison

The two first photos have a lot in common and the caption actually fits both photos very well. The composition is not exactly the same – but that was not a goal in itself, as I don’t mean to try to recreate the photos one to one.

All in all the first set of photos turned out pretty good, and the challenge is off to a good start.

Come back tomorrow and the rest of the month to see the results for the other 29 days.
