Master Class Assignment - level 2 assignment

[QuietOne]

My suggestion would be to put a restriction on whatever the regular assignment is. That way a person can shoot for the regular assignment or if they are feeling like they want a challenge then they can enter it into the master class one.

So, for example, this month's challenge was "Leading lines / Perspective". Master class could have required no man-made objects thereby making it difficult to find nice straight leading lines or diminishing perspective that is relatively easy like railroads, buildings, stairs, etc.

I think this would help the junior members see what the more experience shooters can find compared to their own entries within the regular assignment/challenge.

I like that idea. My main concern when this topic originally came up was that the general challenge might go away. Some of us aren't in the master class yet. The master challenge being a harder version of the regular one would be educational.

We could make a few suggestions and they could be chosen from that. But since this is the last day of the month, shall I suggest 90 degree lighting to create texture? Photo converted to B&W. No use of HDR as shadows are an integral part of this assignment.

I like this as the first suggestion. It is indeed challenging. Given that it is the last day of the month and that we want to try this next month (August), maybe we should just go for this

Regular challenge is not going anywhere.

The 'master' challenge could be a subset of the regular challenge, in future months. But for August, just so we can get it up fast without too much thought, I think we should go with Jas's suggestion.

Okay then I have set up a new subforum for a level 2 assignment...for the master class assignment...I think that name is a bit lofty though so I have renamed it level 2 assignment.

Feel free to comment on any aspect of the setup of this new forum right here in this thread.

Thx Jas - Thx all!
