The theme for 52Frames this week was Texture. The “regular” thing to do for me would be to grab my macro lens and hunt weird stuff around the house; instead, since I was walking in the city for another contest, I kept the “texture” theme in mind when I was shooting too.
I took this shot around the Viadukt area – I’m a sucker for industrial looks (although I suck at making good pictures of it 😦 ), and I liked the contrast with the stone wall next to it.
I haven’t posted my 52Frames pictures in the past three weeks over here, so let’s fix that!
Fine, this one I had already posted when I talked about the Zürich Botanical Garden. Reflections were explicitly on topic for the “Upside Down” theme, and I accidentally found that one, so there it is. I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t get a cleaner reflection – but it’s pretty hard to find a ripple-free moment at a time where there’s a lot of visitors, including some who throw stones in the pond 🙂
I’ll admit a lack of time, inspiration and motivation for The Dark Side theme – especially since I hurt myself that week! (I sprained my ankle, I’m fine, but it’s still SUPER annoying.) So I snapped that one and called it “The Dark Side of Holidays” 😉 With a bonus dark chocolate line-up 😛
I was actually looking forward to the Texture theme, because I was envisioning a “hunt for textures” photo-walk, which, considering the picture of Week 18… kind of did not happen. Thankfully, SOMEONE has been baking and working on their buttercream piping skills, so I got a yummy texture picture for their efforts 😉
