Welcome to the 24th week of Shoot and Edit: Part 1. Click HERE for all the details and upcoming prompts/themes and past tutorials.
This week our theme or prompt is “Father’s Day” (this is just a suggestion, you can show us any SOOC shot). You have until Wednesday each week to link your SOOC shot up on Jill’s blog. On Thursday, you can link up your edits with ME after following some of my tips on how to edit your shots (or just post your edit on Thursday and you can pick up my tips for next week).
I often struggle with the prompts, but I knew I’d be at my parents house for Father’s Day…so I figured I would capture something while I was there. All of that went out the window when we finally made it home and I just wanted to hang out with my family…ya know, LIVING in the moment. It was so awesome! BUT, about 30-4o minutes before we left, I thought “hmmm, I should probably take a few photos.” My dad and my husband were deep in conversation. I didn’t want to disturb them so I decided to go with a photo-journalistic style. Here’s my SOOC:

For this first shot, I was leaning against the refrigerator. Since our Scavenger Hunt prompt, “natural framing,” I’ve really been experimenting with my framing and composition. Although my dad probably won’t like the look on his face (I actually have the same look), I am liking this perspective.
And with this shot, I moved behind them – it looks like they were having quite a serious conversation. I think after this shot, I put the camera away and went into the living room to talk with my mom.
I honestly have no clue how I’ll process these images. I think with the photo-journalistic style, it’s really calling for black and white processing…but we’ll see what happens. Let me know if you have any ideas. Next week’s theme is “Sunrise.” With that said, be sure to check out other “Father’s Day” SOOC shots at:
