Technique Challenge 116: Controlled Overexposure

June 7th, 2021
Thank you Leli @elza for hosting technique challenge 115 Asymmetrical Balance. This was a great theme and with so many great entries. I’m pleased to host the next technique challenge and thanks a million to all of those who voted for my image.

After 115 technique challenges it is hard to find a new challenge, that has not been done already, but still can be done by everyone who is willing to switch to manual. It will be possible with a phone, with a point and shoot or anything else with a manual mode.

So open your eyes “wider”! and let the camera do the same.
The theme is: controlled overexposure.
Whether the whole image or just part of it.

Here are some articles and samples to check out:

I hope you will play along and have fun with this challenge.

The nice thing about all the rules of photography is they can often be broken with great results. Some would even claim there are no actual rules of photography, just results. And please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have questions while on this technique journey. If I can, I gladly help.
Have fun!

PS: It's not mandatory, but it would be great if you could share your image to this thread, to give others inspiration.

@mona65 Mona, do you mean the end date to be 30 June? 31 of June is somehow relative... :D I just need a confirmation for the SH*T LIST. Thank you!
