Photography Fun

As most of you know, Des and I are really into photography. Today we decided to have a little just-for-fun photo contest between us. Des and I have very different shooting styles, so there's a lot we can learn from each other.

"Berries of Death"

We decided on an unbiased way to score our photos, giving points for creativity, composition, and use of color/contrast. We decided to select our three best photos for evaluation, and at the end we would crown an overall winner.

"Bug Butt"

We wanted to pick a location that would be fair to both of us, and also force us to be creative and find interesting things in an environment we would ordinarily take for granted. After some debate we agreed to take a ride over to Draper Park and see what we could find.

"Grass Explosion"

We both found some interesting things, and got some pretty good photos. As always, our different shooting styles were evident... Today I focused on a cacophony of vibrant colors, where Des's best shot was a black and white photo.

It's amazing the way two people (especially two people so like-minded) can see the same exact things in very different ways...
