52 Week Challenge Week 2

Week 2: What’s on the table

Are you doing paint projects, breakfast time, a tea party with the best-stuffed animal guests? The table is often the center of the home where many meals, crafts, and conversations are shared. It is a gathering space and sharer of many memories. For this week’s challenge, I want you to focus on what happened at the table. You can focus on the details or take the full room in. I encourage you to play with the table being the centerpiece for the week and revisit it at different times of the day.

Tip for the week:

            Play with the light source, this can be adjusting your positioning to have the light coming in from the side, or facing onto a window and allowing your subject to be backlit. If you are using a DSLR refer to week ones setting this is a great starting point for indoor natural lighting and adjusting to your situation. Test out the difference between synthetic lighting (overhead lights) and natural light and find what appeals best to you. Test out different perspectives bring your camera down to the edge of the table, or grab a step stool and shoot from above. Happy shooting make sure to share your images with the hashtag #52weektabletop
