Will you be joining the May Half and Half challenge?
If you follow the Half and Half Project on Instagram you will know they describe this type of photography as 'Parallel lines meet together in our minds'. It is a quirky way of explaining how to capture two separate scenes in the one photo.
Take a moment to pop over to their page so you can gain an understanding of what May Half and Half is all about.
Many 365ers have been participating in this challenge for the past three or four years. It is a lot of fun and you can join for the whole month, a week or even a day. Some people like to follow a set theme each week and others like to mix it up and capture a different subject each day.
The challenge is quite simple, you just need to change the way you look at subjects/objects when you photograph them. Here are a few tips to help you:
1. Capture a photo that appears to be of two halves. For example a solid wall in one half of the photo and a door in the other or a tree trunk in one half of the image and the surrounding landscape in the other half. You are capturing what appears to be two separate scenes in the one photo, you are not taking two photos and combing them into one.
2. If you take your photo in a square format or plan to crop it square your images will appear symmetric and look very nice.
3. You can capture horizontal or diagonal lines. How you approach the theme is entirely up to you.
4. Tag your photos Mayhalf21
5. Have fun. Once you train your mind to look at potential images in this way you will see them everywhere.
I look forward to seeing your creativity shine throughout the month May and thanks for joining the challenge.
Whoa! I love this idea. I am not sure if I am able to take it all the way, but I really love the idea and I want to give it a try. Even if not the entire month.
I will add this to the weekly sh*t list.

Do the photos have to be taken in May or can they be edits of old shots?
