December 2011 photography assignment - Lights

**Marko** · 12-01-2011, 11:03 AM

Anyone got ideas for the regular and level 2 assignments?

thx!

Self portraits? or too personal?

How about ugly ducklings, take a photo of something normally overlooked in a way that makes it appealing.

oh I like that idea.

How about something holiday related/seasonal...or is that too cliched?

I like the 'ugly ducklings' idea - looking for beauty in everything - challenging and fun.

Ugly ducklings is a great one for the level 2 assignment and has my vote.

For the regular assignment so far we have the following ideas;
- Holiday theme
- Self portraits

I'll throw out another idea for the regular assignment. - Lights

So we could use a bit more support on any of the 3 possible themes for regular assignment or the suggestion of an additional theme....so what ideas you like? I'd like to make the choice by the end of today. Thanks!

'Lights' as a catagory offers wider possibilities I think, and gets my vote.

ditto

My self portrait would fall under the ugly duckling category.

I vote lights

I did some light pictures last weekend. I guess I was too early. If this is chosen I guess it is an incentive to get out and do some more. So I guess what I am saying is I agree with lights for level 1 and ugly ducklings for level 2.

Hi members - The suggestion posts are merged and the regular assignment this month is Lights.

Ok then who will post first?

Went to a Christmas walk in a small town about 1/2 hour from here. This little church held a Madrigal concert with horns, recorders and vocalists... whilst enjoying the sounds of the season, the wall caught my attention and how beautifully lit the art was -- bonus chandeliers made what my eye was seeing even prettier. Photo quality is not the best as I used a cell phone.
