Opening EOTB112

September 22nd, 2019
Thanks to Marloes @stimuloog for having impulsed so much enthousiasm into the EOTB111 Challenge. I am very pleased to host EOTB112.

The EOTB (Eye Of The Beholder) challenge is to capture something most people would not consider to be beautiful or interesting, and to find a way to capture a shot that portrays the subject so that it comes across different, unique and aesthetically pleasing. This is a great way to expand one's visual view of the world, by having fun, and exploring your surroundings.

This is a great challenge to help with composition and lighting skills. The way you compose the shot, POV, or the way you use light will bring out the creative beauty of your subject. Everything has the potential to be a beautiful image! Beauty is where you find it. But please remember this is not a post-processing challenge. (that is covered by the ETSOOI challenge!) - a bit of editing is okay, but please do not overdo it.

There is no specific item or theme for this challenge, but you will want to find a subject that if people were watching you taking the shot, they would be wondering what on earth has possessed you to photograph something which seems so ordinarily, plain, bland, boring, ugly, etc.

Timing details :
Start : Monday September 16th (backdated to the end of eotb111)
End : Sunday October 13th (by midnight in your time zone).
Please tag your image eotb112.

Your entries must be taken and posted during these dates. After the end date, finalists will be short-listed and voting will commence. The photographer with the most votes will get the honour to host the next EOTB challenge.

You are welcome to share your entries to this thread to give others inspiration and keep it visible in the discussion feed.

Even if you have never participated to this challenge, please give it a go, it is a lot of fun to observe beauty in the common and in the ordinary. We are all looking forward to seeing your marvelous entries.
