Many thanks to Clare @pistache for running the last round of this competition, and to everyone who very kindly voted for my 'A little Rusty' picture. I am overwhelmed.
In the words of the creator of this challenge Jeff Walker: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" This is the 69th challenge and also in numerology an auspicious number for Idealism, Family, Health, Harmony and Compassion.
Your challenge is to catch 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, but 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, they 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 Friday 5th August, and will run until Sunday 21st August. Entries must be taken and posted within this time frame. I will choose finalists for voting, which will follow shortly after. The winner gets to host the next challenge.
