Week 4 - Shoes

Linda's theme this week was Shoes, and I immediately had an idea of what I wanted my picture to be. After snapping for ages earlier this week, I realised just how inexperienced I am at this whole photgraphy thing because, whilst I knew it wasn't want I wanted, I just didn't know how to 'pose' it that it came out right.

The picture I eventually landed up with was an evening shoe of mine - a bit of a cheat in a way as it is one of the only really 'pretty' shoes I have, so it helped me to create a 'nice' shot. I won't say how many I took though before I managed one that didn't focus on the carpet (or, rather, dirt on the carpet!)

The thing I originally wanted to capture was the size difference between Maxine and Trevor's shoes (Maxine being a childrens 10, whilst Trev's is an adult 12). The picture below was the best I could show, but I wasn't happy with it, so chose not to use it as my chosen picture.



I like Linda's picture for the week - I think it's a good picture. Very nicely posed! Even the little bit of blue under the shoe on the left hand side (not sure why you weren't happy with it?)


I found it quite nice, having a 'shoes' theme, because Northampton (the town I live in) is known for it's shoe industry, even having a recent movie centered around it called 'Kinky Boots' (2005).

Till next week....

    I love your photo - so elegant. I know what you're saying about having to take so many to get the right shot - but as they say, practice makes perfect!
