***Get creative for EOTB56***

August 26th, 2015
Kate @harley84 won EOTB54 and has asked me to start EOTB56 as she got a bit distracted with EOTB55. Apologies to those who tagged their shots, but now's your chance to have another go ...

In the words of the challenge creator Jeff Walker:

"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 it's 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 until midnight BST on Wednesday 9 September.
Entries must be taken within this time frame. I will announce finalists for voting shortly thereafter and then everyone on 365 will vote for the winner. Whoever receives the most votes will have the honour of selecting the finalists for Eye of the Beholder 57.
