    Default February 2013 - photo assignment - Signs

    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!

    Nice one, AT. Do they have a lot of flamingos in that neighbourhood? :P

    I found this one the other day. I thought it was kind of harsh for the dearly departed...

    Ok, well I figure I'll get in here too.
    Here is my offering for signs. I took this today thanks to seeing this thread and figured I'd see what I could find. I added a bit of pizzazz to it for practice.

    Not really...when you stop to consider the fact that people are just dying to get in there.

    Nice variety so far.

    AT - that is pretty funny
    Iggy - That is a good reminder for all of us to lead a just and honorable life
    John - what a great find with the ice hanging off like that - and I like the processing
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos

    One of my obsessions, is the Calgary Tower. I like capturing it in ways that do not say this is a photo of the Calgary tower.
