EOTB 62 Eye Of The Beholder

January 23rd, 2016
Thank you for choosing my image as winner of EOTB 61. And a big thank you to Bill Fenske @bill_fe for hosting the last challenge.

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!

Challenge Details

Your Challenge is to find something most people would not consider to be beautiful, and find a way to capture it so that it comes across beautifully. You can achieve it any way you wish. 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’s a matter of finding a way to photograph something that makes photographing it worthwhile.

There is not a specific item or theme for this challenge. 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,Saturday January 23rd and will run until 11:59 pm Saturday February 6th (Eastern Standard Time).

Entries must be taken and posted within this time frame. I will choose 5 finalists for voting, which will follow shortly after. The winner gets to host the next challenge.

Have fun everyone!
