The APUG photo challenge - anyone up to it?

[Flotsam]

Has the idea of reflection ever been done? Many different ways to express it or show it.

That's a good one. It seems simple but it is ripe with an unlimited variety of imaginative possibilities and interpretations. I don't have the vaguest notion what I would do but the concept is is enticing. I'd love to see what the talent on APUG would do with that subject.

If it's not the next challenge, I second it for an upcoming one.

Ouch! I forgot about that one. Great shot.

But remember. Ailsa's original concept for the challenge is about motivating and challenging ourselves. To pick a topic and then apply ourselves to illustrating it within a time frame. I ain't competing against you guys, I'm just a shutterbug.

Hows about combining the idea's and using the theme "reflections of freedom through a window"? or is that too much sitting on a wall?

 

[M. Walter Lyon]

I think that might limit the submissions just a tad...

 

[bmac]

I'd like to motion that the Theme for October be set as "Freedom" How about the submissions go through the month of October, and we start a debate about the November topic around the 15th of Oct?

I'm with ya ...

"Freedom" is good for me.

 

[Thomassauerwein]

That's a tough one, I'm in!

 

[bmac]

ok, 4 out of 2,781 members have agreed on "Freedom" as the October Theme, I say we call it official!

Freedom will run October 1-31 Get shooting!

Freedom - I see myself skipping across an open field, unencumbered by the bondage of clothing.

You guys sure that you don't want to change your vote?

[bmac]

Bring it on brother!

 

[M. Walter Lyon]

Freedom sounds good to me. I'm in. But Neal, please be tasteful with that shot of you skipping across the field.

 

[Nicole]

Hi Guys, I'll be in it as well. It'll be interesting to see the different interpretations... When's the deadline? Sorry, I'm new to APUG... :|

Just take care. The willy could get in the shutter...it could hurt both the shutter and the willy...

 

[M. Walter Lyon]

Nicole, I think we are talking through the month of October. BTW welcome to the forum! I see you are a Medium Format shooter, what type?

 

[Nicole]

Thanks Walter. I have only just bought an oldie but a goodie. Hasselblad 500c/m. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it!

In October? You're not going to impress anyone...!

"Freedom", eh? It figures...

Okay, I'll have a go.

With all the arguments on other threads about scans just to let you know I've pulled my entry this month as it was a neg scan. Hopefully I'll get a chance to wet print something from the roll before the deadline. It will look much better as a scanned print in any case

Tony,
My opinion(maybe not wanted)is that there was no reason to pull your image.From what I understand the whole photo challenge is about concept,not necessarily about
printing.You had a good concept that was composed well that I think resonated well
with those who frequent this site.

Hi Walter, nice to meet you. I have only just started with a Hasselblad 501c/m and still trying to learn the ropes. A bit hard without a manual though.

Hi Jim, Your opinion is always welcomed and thank you for your kind comments on the picture I'm sure it will look far better anyway once I have given it the darkroom treatment so I'll get it back up as soon as I can as there's a couple of weeks until the deadline. Tony

 

[unohuu]

I will shoot for Freedom! as well.
