Last Photographer Standing #3 (Irregular or Picturesque) - Entry thread

***DoctorIt*** · Apr-01-2007, 08:24 PM

Last Photographer Standing Contest Qualifying Round #3

Welcome to Contest #3, a qualifying round. This round is open to any dgrin member! It will run from Monday, April 2nd 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5) to Monday, April 16th 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5)

The topic ready for your interpretation: Irregular or Picturesque.

Shay says:

For this qualifying round what I would like to see everyone do is to title your photo without using the word "irregular" or "picturesque" anywhere in your title. Rely on the photo to bring the theme to life, not the title. If you rely too heavily on the title to make the photos case, you are doing it wrong ;-)

So when choosing the theme, look up in the dictionary "irregular" and look up "picturesque" to see if any of the definitions spark an inspiration. Go out and shoot to that inspiration, and then see if you can work it deeper, work around it, or even redefine it.

And my recommendation is also to avoid using both theme elements in your photo. Unless you have a smashing great idea, using both themes generally tends to dilute your photos message. So pick one or the other for maximum impact...that is unless you have something really awesome that just has to use both.

This thread, is the one into which you post your entry. Remember, 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Entries must have exif embedded or appended. Click here and here for help. Photos entered without proper exif showing a clear shot date will be disqualified.

**Shay Stephens** · Apr-01-2007, 08:48 PM

We are pleased to have a panel of judges with a wide range of talent for our next qualifying round.

nir: http://niralon.smugmug.com/
Action, feeling, and character are words I think of when viewing Nir's work. It is wide ranging and at times documentary of the human condition.

Lynnesite: http://www.photo.lynnesite.com/
I have never seen a more talented photographer who could shoot a photo of a horse that has the same depth and intensity as if it were a portrait of a person.

Michiel de Brieder: http://michiel.smugmug.com/
Well traveled and with an eye for the whimsical Michiel can capture the rare glimpses of personality from the people and places he shoots.

Andy Williams: http://www.moonriverphotography.com/
Andy's work is luminous, colorful, and intimate. They say photography is painting with light, and Andy's work proves that with a strong sense of light suffusing his images.

Shay Stephens: http://www.shaystephens.com
I will be be judging as well.

I invite you all to explore their websites or posts. They will be on the panel of judges that selects the top ten photos for this first qualifying round.

No Photoshop here. Yes, that's 3 bubbles in another bubble that's about the size of a basketball.

Had fun with my little 3yo boy, with his new buble machine yesterday.
costco has this bubble machine on sale for $17, so if you have any little one's, you will have a blast.
