May Half and Half starts tomorrow

[Nicole Campbell]

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that the 2018 May Half and Half challenge starts tomorrow. If you missed the original post about this challenge here are the details:

What is a Half and Half photo?
Think parallel lines and how they join together and the patterns that are made. A half and half photo is one image that has captured two different scenes within the photo. For example the sand and the sea, a footpath and grass, a display of apples and oranges etc. The common link is that there is a strong parallel line running through the image.

The Instagram Half and Half project will provide you with lots of ideas on the type of half and half photos you can capture - https://www.instagram.com/half_and_half_project/

You can also view the month of collage images from the 2017 participants - https://365project.org/discuss/general/29875/thank-you-may-half-and-halfers


Last year I set myself a different weekly theme. I found it useful to keep me focused and it got me out of the house looking for subjects. My weekly themes last year were:

1. Water
2. Shoes
3. Reflections
4. Solid objects (one half of the photo was a solid object, the other half more fluid)
5. Urban landscapes

Other participants focused on nature, fruit and vegetables, colour combinations, doors and windows, buildings, and people. Once you start thinking in half and half images you see them everywhere.

A tip is to crop your photos square so think about your composition when taking your photos. Another tip is to start looking for half and half photos now and posting during the month of May. You don't need to take a new photo each day to participate in this challenge.

If you would like to participate in the challenge, you can do one day, one week or the whole month, it is up to you. Please use the tag is Mayhalf18

Thanks,

Nicole

Thanks for the reminder Nicole, I cannot wait and I'm really looking forward to it. Are you also posting on Instagram again?

I've decided that for the first week, my mini-theme will be half and half shots focussing on above and below. Later in the month I might try left and right.

Anyone is welcome to join me. I'm also going to tag them above-and-below

Woohoo :D
I'm ready... had great fun with this last year, and it's true - you really do start seeing half and half images everywhere lol

@dibzgreasley - I will probably post on Instagram again, I haven’t been posting very often but I will try to improve on that

[Nicole Campbell]

@m2016 - you do see them everywhere and it is so much fun capturing images in this way

Very excited about this! Not sure I'll be able to keep it up for the whole month, but love the challenge of finding half and half moments that involve the kids.
