Sunday Stills ~ Low Tech/High Tech

 

This week’s Sunday Stills Challenge was truly a challenge, but lots of fun, too! It was impossible to use any archives because the main challenge was to capture a photo with BOTH the low tech subject and high tech subject in the same photo. Not something that typically happens naturally.

So here is what I came up with:

1. Oil Lantern vs. Battery Lantern

2. Hand-written Letters vs. E-Mail

IMG_5644

3. Candle vs. Lightbulb

IMG_5607

4. Acoustic vs. Electric

5. Hay-Powered vs. Gas-Powered Transportation

IMG_5539

6. Hand-washed dishes vs. Electric Dishwasher

IMG_5668

 

 

7. Dictionary Book Search vs Internet Search Engine

IMG_5669

 

 

8.Cooking over an open-fire vs Microwave cooking

  IMG_5684

 

9. Weed-Powered Weed Eaters vs Electric Weed Trimmer

10a. Recording history via Petroglyphs vs History Book

IMG_5842

10b. I just couldn’t help but include this photo with my Dobbie girl, too. Which one do you like better?

11. Baking bread in a wood-fired Horno vs an Electric Breadmaker

“Hey, how’s this thing work? Is this the ‘On’ Button?”

Which photo is your favorite?

You worked really hard on this one, carrying around a history book on your hike and a bread machine to the horno! I thought about horse versus auto but never got the photo. I think the light bulb/candle picture came out great!~

Oh wow!! Interesting or what! you really did think about this one. I love the lamp photo, it is beautiful. The goat and strimmer made me laugh so much.

I couldnt live without google and the microwave by the fire is brilliant.

That is a lot of creativity going on! Great job, I liked them all, the thoughts, the creation, the time it took to do all this!!!

I shall have to say my favorite is the lanterns, the contrast of dark and light, new and old...just created a picture that made me sigh.

Your take on this challenge was perfection. But, I'd like to know, did you tote that breadmaker out to the horno??? Loved seeing Apache with the hay in her mouth. :)

Great job! The best! I like them all.

Leah Fry said...

Thanks for MANY smiles this morning!! I love the one of the van and Apache, but just as she was stuffing her face, it would have been cool to show the gas nozzle in the tank. Same amount of dollar signs!

Very creative.

You had a bit of fun with this one, did'nt you? Excellent job and I love the shot of the lanterns and the fire/microwave..:-))

wow, you did fantastic! Lots of great comparisons.

Nuzzling Muzzles said...

You put a lot of thought into this. Did you use it as a home school project with the kids? I burst out laughing at the photo of Apache with hay hanging out of her mouth next to your van. And, as usual, all the photos are great. Your composition is impeccable.

thecrazysheeplady said...

These are hilarious! And nicely done shots as well. I don't think I could pick a favorite, but you gotta love schlepping the microwave outside!

Really nice. As always!

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I did tote that bulky breadmaker out to the horno. I took that photo at the Petroglyph National Monument, so I had to ask for permission to take photos first. It wouldn't have ben easy to sneak in a breadmaker. lol!

As always, you have out done yourself! Great.

Sofia Alves said...

Absolutely the first one! Just fab :)

Oh I like the lanterns..hands down..that is the best shot I have seen so far! Good Job. My old toaster is from the 1920's or 1930's..back when you still had to slice your own bread:)

The first photo is the best, but the hay-burner and weed-power had me laughing out loud!

Claire MW said...

I love the weed eaters too! but I might be biased....

Louise said...

Love the goaties. But then, I love goaties, anyways.

Rising Rainbow said...

I loved the lighting with the first one. Also chuckled at the hay burner complete with hay hanging out of her mouth and the vehicle.
