EOTB29 - Beauty in the eye of the beholder

March 23rd, 2014
I was delighted to have won the last EOTB challenge and now have the pleasure of hosting EOTB29. Here is how it works (slavishly copied and pasted from previous EOTBs!)

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 23 (Sunday) and runs through to Midnight EST on March 29. Entries must be taken within this time frame. I will select and post the 5 images I feel best achieved the goal on March 30th and voting will run from then until Tuesday 1st April at 9.00pm EST.

Tag your entries EOTB29 so I can find them!

I tagged my photo. It was on here, then fell off. Anything else I needed to do?
