NEW Challenge- Shoot Without Looking

April 29th, 2017
This is a fun challenge where luck followed by creativity produces your entry. The idea is to take a photo without looking through the lens of the camera, then produce something interesting from the result. The photo can be of anything and we must be able to see it in the end product. I have provided an example using dog legs.



The challenge will begin today, April 29th, and will end on Saturday May 21st.

Please label your entries: swol-1

You may post your photos here to encourage others to join in.

Happy shooting!

@badskwrl @sarahlth @robz @linnypinny As a note, you can enter as many times as you want as long as the photo w/o looking is taken within the time. The overlays or other material may come from any time within your own work.

******PLEASE NOTE*******

@kathyboyles Thanks for clarifying that Kathy - always a bit confusing.

fun one Kathy, 'shooting from the hip' is another name for it :)

Hmmmm...will have to see if I can do something with this idea. It's my nature to correct everything- not process around it!

@kali66 @olivetreeann thanks for giving it a try. This time perfection isn't the goal. Shooting from the hip is a good other name. Did you see my note above?

This is fun Kathy.

My camera is just a point and click job, so it will automatically focus on whatever it is pointed at - I hope that's not cheating?

@robz not cheating. Looks great! Thanks for posting.

Taken at a conference where I was doing some photography for friends of mine- a row of folks sitting in comfy chairs taken while the camera was sitting in my lap.
