Eye of the Beholder Challenge 5

March 18th, 2013
Thank you for choosing my Tool Bench the winner of the Eye of the Beholder 4 Challenge. I've never won a challenge before nor have I hosted one so let's hope I do this right.

With that said....Time to kick of the Eye of the Beholder Challenge 5!

Here is what the competition is all about (in Jeff's own words):
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

For those of you that don't want to commit to a specific set of words for a month, are intimidated by the thought of being pushed by another 365'er, don't want to be constrained to a specific mundane object, aren't feeling the week's theme, feel you don't have the creativity, time or tools for album and wwyd challenges but still want to face down and conquer a challenge, I have just the challenge for YOU!

(Also, if you enjoy facing all the above challenges and can't get enough of challenges and want to add another challenge to your arsenal, this is for YOU as well!)

Here's the lowdown (and its fairly simple):

Your challenge is to find something most people would not consider to be beautiful, and find a way to capture it that IS beautiful, You can achieve it any way you desire. This challenge will help you with your composition and lighting skills. The way you compose the shot or the way you use light will usually be the way you bring out the beauty. It will also help you look at your surroundings differently. Everything is potentially a beautiful photograph. Its not a matter of finding something to photograph, its a matter of finding a way to photograph something that makes photographing it worthwhile.

There is not specific item you have to photograph for this challenge. And the only rule is that the subject you photograph has to be something that, if people were watching you photograph it, would be wondering what has possessed you to photograph something so plain, bland, boring, ugly, etc. Beauty is where you find it, and it is all around you. Train your eye to see things differently.


The challenge begins Midnight EST on March 18 (Monday) and runs through to Midnight EST on March 28. Entries must be taken within this time frame. I will select and post the 5 images I feel best achieved the goal on March 29th and voting will run from then until Sunday March 31thst at 9.00pm EST.

Tag your entries EOTB5

I will announce the winner shortly thereafter and then that person will have the honor of selecting the 5 finalists for Eye of the Beholder 6!

This is a fun challenge, so I hope it will be one that becomes a regular here on Project365.

Good luck, everyone!
