In this exercise, I will limit myself to photographing with parameters that restrict me. I am limiting myself and exploring what I can do within the bounds of those limits. I have chosen 3 parameters:
- 1 block in the CBD that goes from Bourke Street Mall to Collins Street (see below)
- Photographing only things that contain something yellow on it
- Do it for 30 minutes
I will also try to make some the photos in black-and-white to see if they will look good.
I will fill in the areas bellow as I have taken the photos – publishing of the comments and the photos might be in different dates due to photo development (Lightroom).
Yellow
I had a very busy day, I went through all my photos. There were a lot of opportunities with yellow in that block: a lot of construction work happening (who would have thought). My partner came along and did the exercise also, so here are the top 5 photos from each of us.

Which set was better?
I liked the first set of photographs as they were reflective to the colour yellow and you kept restraint within the photographs themselves…,.
The second set were messy as I don’t think a lot of thought went into the taken of them !!
