I'm thinking seeing things in a different way,
Like long focal length landscapes.
Or wide focal length portraits.

 

[maddagascar]

light painting!!! i just want to see people creativity with it. the possibilities are endless!


or


long exposure shots during daytime

 

[Chappers]

I would love light painting sometime ...... but not now. I only have a $75 P/S camera to play with. Can we keep that one on the back burner - I might even buy a tripod

Bugger I miss my camera

I need the theme to be Lomography

My camera and I are separated by 2000 miles whilst I study in Cambridge. So I guess I could do a few photos of Kings College etc on the little P/S.

 

[JDDavis]

How about Eyes or Lines...

Height

This has been here for two days and I just noticed... Shame on me...

How about Hard/Soft? Not necessarily in the same image. One of those broad interpretation things where you can pick one or the other. Or both.

[JohnMC]

I was wondering when my cat header was going to arrive. I like the ideas out so far... keep discussing.

[Chappers]

OK - I'm good for all of the last 3 suggestions.

Eyes or Lines
Hard/Soft
Height

Are all fine with me and all achievable with my borrowed $75 camera - Hopefully the weather will turn nice - Cambridge UK has gone grey again

Any of the above sound good to me!

I'm fine with any of those. I have a particular liking to Lines or Height.

Are you a Cambridge person or visiting. I'm both.

 

[damov2]

Cambridge born and bred! and i love it here.

 

[Designer Dale]

Oh good! noncommittal voting!

Here are the topics presented so far.


long focal length landscapes

wide focal length portraits

light painting

long exposure shots during daytime

Eyes

Lines +++

Height +++

Hard/Soft +++

My camera is back from the shop, so maybe I can post something other than swamps before the current challenge closes......

As Doylem says, keep nattering.

Edit: I found this while at Luminous Landescape:

Luminous

1. radiating or reflecting light; shining; bright.

2. clear; readily intelligible

[deep diver]

I'm good with any of them. No matter what, I'm going to have to shoot new stuff. I LOVE Spring.

 

[AxelMonkey]

Eyes/Height +

 

[Chappers]

Cambridge born and bred! and i love it here.

I'll PM you

And give a decision for the vote and say Eyes/Height

 

[Designer Dale]

Anyone for a bucket of cold water?

How do those of us with no families manage two weeks of shooting Eyes? How would Height differ from what we did with Perspective? Both of these seem limiting to me.

I'll be out of town for about 1/2 of this one, so I'm not really trying to spoil the party. Just being my analytical self......

Note: I will not quit MR if you go with this.

Dale

You yourself dont have eyes? I agree its limiting, but might force you to think a little bit more about your approach, no?

Edit: All animals, bugs, and creatures have eyes as well.

 

[Designer Dale]

^^^ Grumble grumble grumble...You right...

Dale

 

[JDDavis]

Needles and stoves have eyes

You could also interpret it as "ayes" and shoot a voting situation.

Or even some sort of pirate theme? OK, the last two were reaching a bit.

 

[Designer Dale]

I apologize for the hissy fit... Gets like that sometimes. Too much rain.

This is the current consensus.

Lines +++

Eyes /Height ++++

Hard/Soft +++
