• Weekly Photography Challenge

So the old weekly photo challenge slowly died. Since it wasn't due to lack of interest, but lack of structure, I PM'd Dai to see if it could be restarted. I was thinking of doing a new thread each week in order to keep it organized, but that does seem like it might get excessive. You can discuss it here and if we decide against it, a mod could rename the title and we could just stick it all in here.

Within a community like this, it can be a great thing to have a common and focused project that requires interaction and involvement of the members here, but is set in a chill environment that anyone can feel comfortable to join. Besides, the only way to get better at photography is to practice! [b]Format[/b] Each Sunday or Monday, a new topic will be posted. In the past, these have included ideas such as "defining light", or "isolation", but they could really be about anything that seems interesting. Sometimes the topic will be given a "twist", similar to the old gamemode coding contests that Greasemonkey used to hold. Twists could be technical, like "must be shot with a shutter speed under X", or more abstract, like "can't use artificial light". On the following Sunday, one or more photos will be chosen to be added to the OP to applaud the achievements of Facepunch's mad photography skills. Nobody will be mocked because of their submission, or penalized in any way, unless they fail to follow these two simple rules: [b]1.[/b] Do not steal other's work. [b]2.[/b] Photos must be taken after the topic is announced, and posted before the end of the week. One difference from the old version is that you don't have to sign up ahead of time, and you don't have an obligation to post. However, it would still be appreciated if you at least posted something each week! [b]This week's topic:[/b] Square Format So get to it!
Yay! This again! Thanks Jo! :)
Is editing such as combining photos allowed?
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;29725397][b]This week's topic:[/b] "Self-reflecting" [b]With a twist![/b] Your camera may not appear in your shot.[/QUOTE] Nice :) I have a few ideas for this, may be hard to execute though depending on external factors (The weather :v:)
[QUOTE=FalseLogic;29727624]Is editing such as combining photos allowed?[/QUOTE] I'd say yes.
I think keeping it in this thread would be good. I have a feeling I'd miss on the new threads. I tend to click 'Read Threads' a lot.
[QUOTE=Pickwickian-;29735565]I think keeping it in this thread would be good. I have a feeling I'd miss on the new threads. I tend to click 'Read Threads' a lot.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I think it'd be a good idea to update the OP every week to add the latest challenge, along with a new post as well, just to make it quicker to find.
Looks great. Sorry I dropped the ball on this after I came back from China, Glandular Fever, school and sleep deprivation make me a pretty not-in-the-mood-to-organise-shit kinda bloke.
Everyone is going to be doing clone shots. I need to think of something better. I want to pull this off without manipulation.
[QUOTE=bopie;29738667]Everyone is going to be doing clone shots. I need to think of something better. I want to pull this off without manipulation.[/QUOTE] I was about to rate you disagree about the clone bit, then looked at the second sentence about pulling it off without manipulation and wanted to rate you agree. So I guess I'll just rate you zing. [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] I'll see if the opportunity arises for me to enter this time :D
I really want to enter this but I have so many exams :(
I want to enter this, but lack of gear/resources restricts me.
I'll just post something if I can think of a good enough idea and get time to take any good shots.
Alright I'll probably keep it in this thread. Could a mod edit the dates out of the title? Also 2000th post, I'm now going to be a goldie! I won't fuck up like cueball did :v:
Have an idea for this, i'll enter for the fun of it
I needed an excuse to pick up my camera again. I'll definitely give this a try. I've got a good idea in my head.
I have a bitchin' idea for this but lack the tools. Ah well.
Remember to post your entries by tomorrow (Sunday) night!

I could of probably executed it better.

Last minute entry! [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/bohanpang/5724950810/][img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2725/5724950810_4a5f8c32df.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/bohanpang/5724950810/]005-4-2[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/bohanpang/]Bohan Pang[/url], on Flickr
LatirCole's picture was featured! [b]This week's topic:[/b] "Revolution" Also I think garry broke img_thumbs so the op looks really messy :frown:
I would suggest updating the OP with the new topic so you don't have to hunt through the thread to find the topic.
I did [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] Oh oops I didn't [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] Now I did! Also you guys can suggest topics, I'm not sure if I'm very happy with this one.
What happened to the twist?
I couldn't think of a twist this week. You can still suggest one if you want. [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] And Dai can you rename the thread to get rid of the "May 9th - May 15th"?
edited.
music for the week: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25jaxlXk7pA[/media] also possibly an approach that other people haven't considered (multiple definitions for the word, etc)
