EOTB or Eye Of The Beholder, what does it involve? The competition was started by Jeff Walker @jsw0109, and in Jeff's own words: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
In other words: nothing is ugly. Beauty is all around in everyone and everything. Just find it and capture it :)
What should I do?
The challenge is to find something, anything most people would not consider to be beautiful, but YOU can find a way to capture it and produce an image that IS beautiful, or has impact.
(The advice below is copied from another call:)
“You can achieve your beauty 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. It’s not a matter of finding something to photograph, it’s 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.”
