Challenge Topics for the year 2019 - 2020 Instructions: The major focus of
the photo must incorporate the Challenge, rather than being just a small element of it. Shots must have been taken
since June 10, 2019 when the list was distributed. Upload your entries to Dropbox or
bring prints to the appropriate meeting.
September - Patterns in
Nature – Look for repeated
shapes that create a pattern; in scenics, flowers, animals, rocks
etc.
October - Long Exposure –
Shutter speed no faster than 1/20th
of a second. Good for night shots, (scenes, stars etc) to get enough
light. For moving objects, water, fireworks etc to soften vs getting
sharp detail. You’ll need a tripod for most approaches to this
challenge, and darkening filters to accomplish it in strong light.
November - Panning; a Sense of Motion
– Follow a moving object with your camera, blurring the background.
The slower the shutter speed, the blurrier the background will be.
December
January -
Silhouette – An image of your
subject represented as a solid shape of a single color (usually
black). Try to capture the subject in a way that communicates the
idea of it, without any interior details.
February - Creative
Lighting – Light the subject
with something other than ambient light. Think colored light, light
placed from an unusual angle to create a different atmosphere or find
subjects lit by something other than the sun; neon lights, the moon,
headlights on a car ...
March -
Ugly is Beautiful – Make a
beautiful photo of an object or scene that is inherently ugly or
despised. Could be a homely animal, garbage, wreckage, environmental
destruction – use your eyes and your imagination.
April - Far from the Madding Crowd –
A place of solitude where one can recuperate from the stresses of
life.
May - Just Another Roadside Attraction
– The tourist draws that small towns boast of, or something
along the road that attracted your attention, whether it was intended
to or not.
