I can't tell you how exciting that was to win!! It was so inspiring to see all the entries, and I can't wait to see what people do this week. I've decided to go with a theme? A concept? Whatever it is, this week it is "Dizzy"
Hope katy @grammyn doesn't mind but I'm just going to copy and revise her explanation:
ETSOOI is an acronym started by MaryBeth @espeyetta that means EDITING THE SORRY-NESS OUT OF IT. It is what we do when there is a need to post a shot and we have taken nothing impressive enough for the day.
And I can't remember who said it, but I also like calling it "edit the stuffing out of it".
The challenge will start today and run until Saturday the 16th of June. Your picture must be taken during that time. Voting of the top 5 will begin and end on Sunday the 17th. The winner will host the next challenge and choose a theme for a new subject.
Tag your photos ETSOOI-2 and have fun! You may also post them here if you like.
@espyetta Thanks. I'm not so sure Tweedle Bill and Tweedle Bob would go so well on my walls, but I like the idea of printing it out! It's my first win with photography! :-)
Thought I'd put up some examples in case anyone happens across this and thinks "what do they mean by edit the sorry-ness (or stuffing) out of it?" So here's the ones I have in my project that would fit the bill, but I've for sure seen ones edited even more! It's fine if your subject is unrecognizable!
Last night when I edited this I forgot there is a theme. This morning in a moment of clarity I realized this won't qualify for the theme this week but still offer it as an example for others.
@jannkc Glad you're trying it out! Like the way this brings out the form, and that big blue streak is really cool! There's a lot of wonderful little moments in this pic, so each time I look at it, I'm drawn to something else. nice!
