New photo challenge?

leche solara

The last photo challenge seems to have been a bit too hard for most people to get their head around.

What about a new easier one to get people's creative juices flowing again.

Howzabout "Abstract" Vague enough but open to plenty of interpretations.

If this is agreeable would the coppermine hoster set up the space for loading and post up timeframe etc.

Mellor

Is abstract a little too vague?

leche solara

It must be, or everyone is gone off to get a head start before saying anything here. Abstract might be a bit vague but it is an art category in its own right

Mellor

Yeah, but abstract as a category is completely different to abstract as a theme.

Too broad imo

leche solara

Well let's make it a bit narrower:

Windows!

Covey

The reason the least challange faltered was at least partly to do with there being no place defined to upload to.

This is going to go the same way unless thats resolved imo.

kjt

If I get a bit of spare time in the next week/2 I'll try sort something.

Fajitas!

Afaik, DarrenG can give us space on a Coppermine for it.

GristlyEnd

I sure did and I mentioned it a few times in the last challenge. The site is still there so all we need is a new challenge with a closing date.

Frames - I think that'll be the best of both worlds

btw Covey, according to the user list, you are already registered there. If it's not you, please let me know.

GristlyEnd

One more thing. After you have uploaded your image, it will not be revealed to the public until voting starts.

Covey

Darren,

I am registered there.

I just diidn't realise that each competition was uploaded to the same link, thats all. :eek:

Tommie

So now we have the link and a theme (or two) lets set an end date and off we go....

T.

Dragan

Perfect.

So are we going with Frames?

If so whats the time line on this? 2 weeks enough for people?

Covey

Frames mightn't get a great response, but sure what the heck.

Two weeks sounds grand.

kjt

Wow Frames?

Right up my alley :P

Well it is supposed to be a challenge after all.

If i can come up with an idea i'm sure the majority of the folk who's pic regularly outstrip mine will have no problem!!!

Covey

Right then Frames it is... and I've a good idea for the next one also

And to make it interesting I'll sponsor a 16*12 print for the winner.

leche solara

Have we an exact closing date?

kjt

How about we say Thusday June 5th?

That fine. I need to get mine wrapped up early as i will be away and at the very least want to have the shot taken. Not sure what kind of state i will be coming back in.

Just wondering if a newbie like me can try this? Haven't got an SLR (unfortunately) just a decent-ish Digital camera

That okay. I'm in the same boat. The folk around here are pretty decent when it comes to helping out us new folk so don't be afraid to ask questions either!

Peace

Is there an album that we should upload the photos to? I tried to upload one but the only option was the self portrait albumn. TIA.....

Darren, I've registered but not receiving the activation e-mail. That could be my own fault tho as am using a hotmail account ..... they're notorious :rolleyes:

Edit: never mind, I've re-registered with my not so oft used flickr name 'CraggyIslander' and a gmail address

Do you keep that username or change it to your boards one?

CraggyIslander

I'll keep that one as its also the name of my (unfinished) online gallery

Might even sponsor boards and get my name here changed :pac:

Mellor

So its thursday, is this open now??

elven

how many uploads you get darren? good to go to voting? I can help with a mega poll if there's more than 10... i think...

GristlyEnd

more than 10, I wish!

I'll authorise the photos that have been submitted and a poll will be set up soon.

zero19

Dang missed the deadline!

magicbastarder

how about a photo challenge where posters pick what the other posters have to shoot; e.g. we could challenge amcinroy to shoot something industrial, thebaz to document a high society gathering, etc.

Fajitas!

I like the sounds of that!

Covey

Me too, sounds like a great idea.

Even simpler, take your favorite subject in an unusual way.

i.e.

The sports guys use a wide angle
Landscape a telephoto

Etc
