Week 1
Create a photo that captures contrast—specifically, something old next to something new.
This photo was taken around the old harbor in Würzburg, where you have this nice, old crane close to a modern industrial complex. The difficulty here was to find a unique perspective with both the crane and the industrial complex. I wanted to find something that cannot be seen by simply strolling around. This is where I found this window where you could see the reflection of both objects. The crane is in the foreground, hiding most of the new building, whose orange walls can barely be seen on the lower left corner.
Week 2
Capturing motion ....
Last weekend I was at the 24h of the Nürburgring, perfect for this week's challenge, which is all about conveying movement through photography. I decided to go for a panning shot at 1/40th of a second. In my opinion, this better emphasizes moving nature of the car compared to a photograph at high shutter speed, in which the car would appear to be at standstill. Another added benefit is that tracking the car blurs out the fence which was right in front of me. The picture was taken just before sunset on the straight between the "Dunlop-Kehre" and the "Michael Schumacher-S" curve.
