March Assignment.

4 Assignments
  • Oxymoron (Photograph two opposite concepts within one frame)
  • Green
  • B&W Portrait
  • the Night
I think every month should have one focused challenge assignment such as the Oxymoron one above. This is one assignment that pushes us to try something new and is more focused than the other 3. What you all think?
We'd talked about the role of post-process in these and I think the concensus was that minimal photoshop can be used if desired (levels, saturation, cropping, straightening), but you must declare along with the image what exactly was done. I think the idea though is that the less photoshop the better and hopefully we'll all get good enough that we barely ever need it. We can discuss more in the comments for this post if wished. Maybe the original untouched photo should be available for others to view also?

Assignments are due end of day, March 31st.

Welcome.

Let's kick this photo challenge off. I've gone ahead and started us off with a few assignments. If any of these are overwhelmingly disliked we can pick something else, but i figured it'd at least get us started.
Using this blog as the format I think will be the cleanest way of doing this, you are all authors of the blog so you can all post your pictures here too. As such:


There's 2 ways to post photos, either by uploading from your hard disk or linking to an external site.
If you have a flickr or picasa account and have photos hosted there, it's preferable to do that as this blog only has 500MB of space for uploading pictures. Any questions post in the comments.
