Create

"Stwórz obraz przedstawiający blondwłosą dziewczynę trzymającą parasol w jesiennym parku miejskim, odbywającym się w epoce dwudziestolecia międzywojennego. Pogoda jest złowieszcza - deszcz pada obficie, wiatr wznosi płaszcze i parasole, a ludzie spieszą się uciec przed deszczem na drugim planie. Zdjęcie ma być wykonane aparatem ze średnim czasem naświetlenia, by uchwycić delikatny ruch liści i postaci, obiektyw powinien być szerokokątny, a głębia ostrości dopasowana do detali. Nastrój fotografii ma być ponury, podkreślając melancholię tego dnia, a kadrowanie powinno odzwierciedlać statyczną atmosferę miejsca, pozbawioną dynamiki."
