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 now and runs through to Thursday 25th April at midnight GMT. Entries must be taken within this time frame.
I will select and post the 5 images that I feel best achieved the goal on the 25th April and voting will run from then until Sunday 28th at 9.00pm GMT.
I will announce the winner shortly thereafter and then that person will have the honour of hosting the next challenge and selecting the 5 finalists from that round.
To enter: just tag your entries EOTB7 in the tag field on the page on which you post your photo in your own album.
Multiple entries possible.
Good luck everyone and keep those entries coming!
