My weekly triptych
How quickly someone can get used to a challenge like 'Single in' is clear to me today. Today I can and may, but I don't have to invent and photograph anything. After delivering a photo every day for a month, this suddenly seems very strange.
While shopping I thought it would be good for me to come up with something that keeps the 'flow' going, but not so much the pressure to come up with a result every day. Something interesting and fun that I can think about all week, with enough time to take pictures and edit the results on the computer, without falling into the theme of 'one photo every day' which is not going to work for me, simply because I've already tried something like this in recent years.
I understand a next edition of the 'Single in' challenge is planned for September 2023, so with my weekly triptych challenge I can bridge these 6 months nicely. For my weekly triptych, I don't give myself any restrictions, except that each triptych must consist of 3 square photos placed next to each other, either in color or black and white.
It's an assignment to myself for the next 6 months and a great opportunity, just like in the 'Single in' challenge, to try out my cameras and lenses, filters and flashes etc., but also all kinds of styles, tricks and editing programs. It's the intention to place all triptych versions (about 27 pieces in my opinion) in this single thread so as not to flood and burden the forum, whereby a consecutive numbering and the correct week number will be placed in the title each time, starting with number 1 and week 9 - 2023
In order not to make this announcement a mere mass of words, I'm enclosing a triptych (just for fun) I made in late 1978 with a Polaroid SX70 camera I had just bought, at the time I was studying to become a professional photographer, working in the photo trade and was immediately hooked on this instant photo system. I still have the camera and everything still works.
