Project 11 What does make the leap to the photographer "Sunday"?
Where is the difference between professional and amateur?
It 's a question that maybe you will be in many places. One possible answer is very simple: work on a project.
But what does this mean? It is basically a question of approach. I know dozens of talented photographers, even very good, that taking great pictures of what happens to the shot. Turn the machine around his neck ready to find an interesting topic, a good light or a view not to be missed. Well, this is the amateur approach to photography.
Think of a project, a series of stills linked by a common thread, eviscerating any theme but this photo is the mature approach. And I assure you, there's a big difference.

E 'for this concept came to life in January 2011 the group "
Project 11." Born to a
discussion forum on FAI, the group aims to share and manage their photo projects of the participants. A kind of exhortation to personal growth through a comparison with other photographers.
A wonderful idea and I found that I immediately joined with enthusiasm.
The rules of the group are few and simple:
- Only analog pictures linked by a common thread
- Minimum 11 photos final
- Only critical and constructive comments
- Mandatory opening a discussion participant to present their project and show the developments
A little over a month away from the project during construction and are already many already see the early works of some interest. The initiative is not lacking and developments, for a group so young, could be many. There is already talk of exhibitions and other related projects.
Personally I had some time on site with the idea of \u200b\u200ba personal project that had already spent a couple of rolls. Membership of the Project 11
gave me the final push needed to continue my intent.
The project in question, perhaps a little banal, focuses on the countries of the Ligurian Riviera in winter.
To ensure the consistency of the picture I also decided to use a single machine and a single film. The choice fell on my beloved Rolleicord Go and Provia 400X.
The idea is to create a set of images to recreate the relaxed atmosphere that you live in the river during the cooler months. Giving way to the sea and the sky and leaving the human figures, drawing to a secondary role or presence through objects left on the shore.
be expected as it was working on a project has been anything but simple. The big difficulty is to create images not only in theme but are also able to transmit the same type of feelings. The gallery above is updated automatically as you add photos to the project, we'll see how it will end.
conclusion, anyone interested is welcome on the Flickr group.
that I can not help but advise everyone to test themselves with
Project 11.
E 'unique opportunity for growth that is worth to grasp.
nice bmw scrambler do not know if this is a model of a special series or the engine can be to a rare / 3 or a Simson another factory rose from the ashes of the BMW factories in Eastern Europe; What excites me Bmw 250cc is that this is likely to be implemented in various displacements
