I'd like to thank everyone for voting for my spring cleaning picture last week. Everyone had such great entries! I also want to thank @mzzhope for helping Kiran to get this going again.
Now, on to EOTB31!!!
EOTB stands for “Eye of the Beholder” – and this challenge is about finding the beauty in otherwise not so appealing objects.
In the words of the challenge's founder, Jeff Walker, this is how it works:
"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. It is not a matter of finding something to photograph, it is 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.
Challenge details:
This challenge starts Friday, April 25th and ends Friday, May 2nd at midnight Mountain Standerd Time.
Entries have to be taken within this time frame in order to be considered. Please tag your entry with EOTB31 so I can find them.
The five finalists will be announced on Saturday, May 3rd.
Tweets ahoy!
