Photography: Challenge of January - A sound you heard 📸
January, the first month of my monthly challenge which I created to keep me motivated while working on my photography. I picked some random subjects and the subject for January was called “A sound you heard”.

Sounds you love
First, I had the idea to capture the sounds I do love the most, but then again like mentioned before I would end up with another sunset at the ocean, or a bird flying over the ocean. You know these simple little things always sound perfect. A bit of wind blowing through your hair, the bird screaming to its fellow birds that it is so much fun gliding through the air. I have to admit, a stunning sunset with a rough ocean with some smashing waves probably could have worked for me. But the weather gods weren’t with me so after my Captain James A. Duffy shipwreck sunset, there wasn’t a timeslot where I was near the ocean combined with a beautiful sunset. January was kind of grey for me…
Sound of fractals
Then I found this great little program that turns pictures into sounds. I considered this to be my concept for the January theme. But I soon found out that the key thing for some proper sounds are repeating patterns/lines in your pictures. I just couldn’t find those lines that would deliver me some nice sounding pictures…

Audio equipment
I kept on thinking what can I do to make my challenge work this month? So, I started thinking about photography inside my house, another thing with sound I’d love is listening to music. Easy you would think, what about some closeups from the equipment you’re listening to? Well I did and I wasn’t happy with the results…

Me time
Then I started to realize the thing that I do love the most while listening to my music. I’d love to be on my own. What sound do I like the most while I’m listening on my own? Of course, Me myself and I! I started to think about how I could visualize the way I’d love to listen music. A regular Friday night looks like this for me. Install myself in front of my loudspeakers with my vinyl gathered around me. In the meantime I'm looking at the sleeve from the record I’m listening to at that moment. Sometimes I’m analyzing the music, sometimes just enjoying a specific genre while reading a book. But most of the times alone and arguing with my own self. The idea for the picture was born there!

The picture might be not the best out there, but for me it was the conceptual challenge to create a picture I wouldn’t create normally. What do you think, did I pass the January challenge?
PS. As you might have heard, I'm not 100% healthy at the moment. A reply at a comment can take a while. Sorry in advance for that... 😔

Oh man, that photosound thingy sounds like something I want to play with! I do have quite some geometrical photos in my archives, that will be fun to play with :D
I think you definitely passed the challenge - I love the conceptual image and reading about your thought process that ended up in the final shot :-)
Looking forward to the results you'll get with those pictures! I couldn't find some decent ones, but I think you can create very awesome sounds from images with this tool. Think the Erasmus bridge will provide some proper lines with some close-ups.
Cool that you like my process, so storytelling about the result is a keeper for February? That month will be difficult with my health... 🤔 Need to be creative by shooting subjects that won't drain my energy. But the subject is all open to creativity, so I'll think I'll be fine in the end.
Pictures into sounds? That's awesome! Maybe I should try that as well.
I'll leave the judging of your challenge to you :) but I like the concept behind it and how it was executed.
Believe me it is really fun playing around with your images. You can try it the other way around too. Maybe you ever read about the face from Aphex Twin in the song Equation? There are way more songs with hidden images in their sound (or they used images to create the sound). Maybe I need to write sometime about those?🤔
Thanks for coming by and looking at my challenge, really appreciated! Hope you find some beautiful sounding images, and let us hear them.
I forgot about this ha! Poor me. Maybe I should look into it later today.
Ik had telegram gestuurd maar jij bedoelde app zeker, 😬
