Thank you to Mel @m2016 for hosting Eye Of The Beholder 87 and thanks also to everyone who posted images for the last challenge, there were some great entries so I really was surprised and over the moon to win 😊
Now it’s time to continue the search for unconventional beauty in EOTB88.
If you're not sure what this challenge is all about, 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.
EOTB88 begins today, Saturday 7 October and will close on Monday 23 October. Your photos must be taken and posted during that time. I will then choose the finalists and post the images for voting.
Please tag your photos eotb88 please also share them to this thread to keep it active.
Enjoy the challenge!
