Thank you to everyone who participated in the last round, and to @northy for hosting EOTB85...
The search for unconventional beauty continues in eotb86! If you don't know this challenge, here is a description:
In the words of Jeff Walker, the creator of this challenge, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (quoting Margaret Wolfe Hungerford who is credited with coining the phrase in 1878).
Your objective in this 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 bring out the beauty of your subject. 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, but 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 which seems 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.
Eotb86 begins today, Tuesday August 15, and will close Monday, August 28. Your photos must be taken and posted during that time. I will then pick the entries for voting on...
Please tag your photos eotb86 and share them to this thread to keep it active. Happy hunting!
