Take 52 Challenge – Critique Week 4
This week’s theme was Glass – not a very easy subject to capture and it resulted in lots of various types of the substance. I choose the following image from Holly Feerrar as she obviously took some time in the set up and the thought process – LOVE IT!
Image Stats:
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 800

Week 3 – Entrance
This week we are looking at this beautiful image by Stacy Phillips.
Entrance by Stacy Phillips
I love the way Stacy has chosen to process this shot as a Black and White image. It makes the foggy atmosphere all the more intriguing and those trees to appear all the more frightening! If you’d like to hear what else I had to say about Stacy’s image, please click on the video below.
Aperture: f/6.3,
Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec

Trick Photography – How to do Multiplicity
We are onto Week 34 with our #Take52 Challenge critiques and this week’s theme was “Tricky.” I absolutely LOVED how Julianne Anderson interpreted the theme to capture a regular everyday moment (at least this is in our house!) In this case, one picture tells the story of at least 20mins (or the duration of Doc McStuffins)
Image Stats:
Shutter Speed: 1/30
Aperture: f/9
ISO: 400
Edited in Photoshop
To hear my critique of Julianne’s image click on the video below.
Julianne shared with the group that she achieved this image by following a tutorial on YouTube by Photo Extremist. This guy does LOTS of cool things with photography and even has a brilliant ebook on the subject which you can check out here. I think it would be a great read for anyone tempted by this type of photography or if you are just a little bored by the same old stuff. I know I’m going to try out some of the things recommended and I’d love to see your efforts too! Click here to learn more about the Ebook which includes 9 hours of video tutorials.

Changing your Angle: Critique Week 32
Another critiqued image this week from regular contributor to the Take52 Challenge – Susan McClung
Our prompt for week 32 was High and Susan chose to photograph her family High up from her low down vantage point. I love so many things about this image – the angle, the colors, the spot on exposure, but most of all I love the the connection the photographer obviously has with each of the subjects in the image.
