In looking through the responses to the get pushed challenge and in working on several of them, a recurring refrain comes up - What to issue as a challenge? A technique? A subject? A camera setting?
If you have participated in this challenge and have a list, would you please share?
I would love it as reference for this challenge and as a reference for me on things to try.
to reflect my passion for books in an image
to take a photograph of something through a water drop
to capture people
to capture something scary
to capture fire or a flame
the dreaded selfie
the nifty fifty and non-Christmas-light bokeh
monochromatic
to capture things that make me happy
to capture smoke
to illustrate the use of negative space
to try different perspectives/processing on a still life subject
to take a shot inspired by a book I love
to read the Christmas story called 'The Littlest Angel' by Charles Tazewell.
and try to photograph the gift that the Littlest Angel gave (or a gift he could have given) to the Christ child.
to capture feet
to use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion.
Either a photo that shows Heart break Or A photo with two layers composited
to take a shot that represents summer for you
double exposure
light painting
clouds
B&W selfie
I just started participating in the get pushed challenge, and I was intimidated at first...when I searched I found this thread with ideas from back in June.
@luvmynynix Thanks! I completely forgot to search first. I should have figured that this would have been posted at some point. Thanks for finding that for me. :)
Let's see.That I can remember...
A diptych that tells a story
A portrait
A candid portrait
A portrait of a stranger
A portrait of someone that does not want their picture taken
Patterns in nature
Opposites
Something BIG
Outdoor night shot
Mundane macro
Elements ( fire water wind earth)
Stop action
Indoor stop action
Forced perspective
Food
A selfie
Dramatic light
Icm
Slow speed
A building from a quirky angle
Trash to treasure
Highlight an environmental issue of concern
Winter wonderland
abstracts
use of colour - either using primary colours or filling a frame with colour
somewhere familiar from a different angle
new setting on your camera
panning shots
street candids
b&w shot
picture that tells something about me
3 related objects in front of white background
take a picture in your town that looks as if it was taken at least a century ago
shoot from a low pov
recreate favourite christmas photo
pic of something i like about myself
close-up
create a book cover for a given title/author
That's all I could find :)
Religious architecture (church, mosque, synagogue, temple, etc.)
The photo must include hands and eyes (not necessarily human, not necessarily alive)
Human-animal interaction (dog walking, sheep shearing, kitty cuddling, etc.)
Popcorn must be the main subject
Include a lemon and a cork in the image
Something SOOC (that's for people whose images are always heavily processed)
Light painting
Photograph someone you do not know who is wearing a hat
Something humorous
Abstract shot involving water
Take the image at ground level (what would an ant see?)
Forced perspective (lots of fun)
Photograph a Fairy Tale (also lots of fun)
Abstract photo of something that represents my "heart" or what I love
B&W architecture collage
Long exposure shot
Photograph water
Macro shot
Find letters in nature to spell a word (that was lots of fun)
Portrait of one of my kids
One of my favorite challenges to issue, especially when my partner lives far from me or in a different country, is to tell them to play tourist and make a post card collage of some of their favorite places where they live.
Light Painting/Light Trails (twice)
Negative Space
Create a still life from 5 items from 5 different rooms
Have photos celebrate my love of words
Find letters in nature to spell a word
Demonstrate a holiday in the U.S. (Thanksgiving) for those who don't celebrate it.
Reflection shot
Board Games
some urban interest of form or style or quirkiness or intricate detail
Forced Perspective
a photo in the style of my favorite famous photographer
To help me and my GP partners I've started keeping track of my challenges on my profile page http://365project.org/sianipops/profile , but darn it I haven't kept track of challenges I have issued! Need to bookmark this page for challenge issuing inspiration.
how to spend a relaxing day in summer
use shadows in a creative way
capture a moment
use a diptych to tell a story
shoot night street shot with light strails.
mix vibrant colours
take a shot that could be used for the album cover of one of your favourite songs.
take a very colorful picture of something fun and post it straight off your camera, no enhancements
capture the rainbow through your images, not necessarily an actual rainbow, but get creative and try to create images that incorporate all (or at least most) of the colors of the rainbow
take a real life photo with lots of color, no editing it, so straight out of the camera
take a photo that your cat would take
street photography
use framing
to look inside your home and see something with fresh eyes
light trails
photograph love, illustrate through a picture what love feels like
create a monochrome photograph
to take a photograph of someone who is older.
create a backlit still-life.
find heart shapes
Great idea for a thread--very helpful! I just started doing Get Pushed, but my list so far has included:
-selfie shot in manual
-"faceless self portrait" (represent yourself, your interests, your -beliefs/dreams in some way, but without including your face)
-high-key selfie
-wide angle shots
-shoot a landscape, using the rules of composition as a guide
-street photography representing something unique about where I live and how I feel about it
Tweets ahoy!
