Challenge update 9th Feb

Again the main issue in doing this week's challenge was time and I think the issue will become worse as the year goes on and some challenges are quite specific and it be difficult to find the right image and moment to complete the challenge.

Challenge changes

Changed the order of a couple of the challenges, swapped portaits with Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) as the Portait challenge was on the 29th March and I'm doing a portait course in May so did the switch so that I can do the challenge properly as portaits of people is not a strong point of mine.

THIS COMING WEEK'S CHALLENGE

Need to produce an image that is in Black and White and potenital just high contrast ie true black and white rather grayscale. A black and white image of any subject, as I normally shoot RAW I will probably convert an image in Lightroom. Although will try setting the camera to B&W and see if that makes a difference to the final image. Going to be looking for images that either have a lot of texture so the conversions pulls the texture out or where B&W / Monochrome will create a suitable mood for the image.

NEXT CHALLENGES

Looking at what to do and how to do it for the next challenges.

Eye (Target date - Sun 23 Feb)

An image focused on the eye or eyes – want to see what the photographer sees! if possible need to see detail and highlights

Bubbles (Target date- Sun 1st Mar)

Taking pictures of any form of bublles but paying attention to what you can see inside the bubbles.

Mirrors and reflections (Target date - Sun 8 Mar)

Be observant, notice and record something and its reflection. Is ti possible to fool the viewer. What is real? What is reflection?
