February 2013 - photo assignment - Signs

[Marko]

Hi members!

Anyone have suggestions for the regular and level 2 assignments?

(The best suggestions are the ones that everyone can join in on)

Thx! Marko

Always had this idea in my head, but don't know if it has ever been done, or will be welcomed. I call it the 180. You take an interesting/artistic shot, then turn exactly 180 so you are facing exact opposite your initial shot, and shoot again. This will really make you work, and think about comp., and the subject(s) at hand, that you are shooting.

Wow, it's February already! Time goes by way too fast.

HBG's suggestion is interesting. You could create a diptych from the shots. Sounds like an interesting level 2 to me.

As for level 1, we could get predictable and do "love", "heart", "red" as a Valentine's theme.

Another option is "signs". There are signs everywhere... show us your most creative view of a sign.

Food? Have we ever done a food challenge?

I like signs - for level one.

For level 2, I like 'heart' or Food photograph.
(sorry HBG - i think what you are proposing is interesting, but can only work with ultra specific scenes and genres of photography (usually there are distractions all around us and we choose our angles very specifically based on the direction of the light) - but if the majority supports it it will indeed become the theme of the month )

Marko...I am with you on this one! HBG's idea is a good one, but might get a bit lost in translation....signs and food....works for me!
