Thank you so much Suzanne for hosting the last “What Would You Do?” Challenge - and thanks to everybody who entered/voted in the same challenge. It was very exciting to win- but a bit tricky trying to choose suitable image for you to work your magic on.
I hope this will give you a starting point for your imagination:
The essential details are :
START DATE 26th June
END DATE 16th July (Just by the end of the day wherever you live)
TAG: WWYD-171
Voting will take place shortly after the 16th July and will be open for several days.
So here are the rules:
- Save the starting image on your computer. NOTE: If you select the “Sizes” under the right-side menu and scroll down to the Original or Large option you can copy and paste to your browser or download.
- Edit the photo in any way you wish - to produce an image that YOU like.
- Upload the photo you edit to one of your albums and tag it WWYD-171
- It would be great if you could add your image to this discussion thread to keep the thread alive. To do this go to your edited photo, click on the arrow by your comment and fav numbers, copy the "embed" code which appears in a new small window, and paste it here in one of the "comment" boxes below.
- Multiple entries are very much encouraged!!
N.B. There are no editing rules. Edit the starting image any way you’d like. Produce any image to your liking. You are welcome to produce just a slightly changed image, an image with a new story to tell, an abstract or a surreal image, a composite, a double exposure, or even something which has only a tiny link to the starting image.
No editing software on your computer? No problem – go to a site like Picmonkey and upload/edit your pic for free. You won’t be able to use all the features but there are plenty you will be able to use.
The idea of the WWYD Challenges is to push yourself to try new editing techniques! If you’re just beginning work on tones, colours, lighting and exposure curves, cloning, sharpening and other effects such as distortions, textures and additions to your image. As you get more familiar with all the editing tools you can add things like dodge and burning, layers, masking and different effects. As you push yourself even more move to image extractions and full compositions. Remember to keep pushing and learning, and most of all have fun along the way!
Good luck to everyone and happy editing! Have fun! We’ll look forward to your creations.
Cheers Rob
I've never done this challenge before and have little clue, but am looking forward to trying things I haven't tried before. In the meantime, here's my first attempt to kick start proceedings for you! Kind of fun to tinker with buttons I don't understand on my Affinity editing programme and see what they do!!
@casablanca Wow Casablanca - I am so chuffed that you have had a go at this!! And how different does your image look - a totally different feel to it! It'll be great to see any other results that you end up with! Thanks for playing. Cheers Rob
@not_left_handed Hi DawnLouise - thanks so much for your encouraging reply - and I love what you have done with it! You've made such a good composition. Thanks so much for entering! Cheers Rob
@casablanca LOL - This is so much fun! "Clouds in my Coffee' suits it to a tee! Great twirl - and I don't know if your program will do it but mine lets you do a double twirl - save the first one and then do another - in the opposite direction. It can end up really cool. Thanks for posting them here!! Looking forward to more... :)
@suzanne234 LOL again Suzanne - This is unreal - they are such fierce little creatures!! Your creations are amazing. Thanks so much for playing and for posting it here!. Cheers Rob
@joysfocus Hi Joy - thanks so much for having a play with the WWYD image, I love what you have done with it. Thanks also for posting it here! Cheers Rob
