Thread: It's here! LGK PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE #1

Nice job Teeny. I agree with FBJ that "Tea Ball" and "Ring of Fire" are very nice. The composition on "Tea" is very professional and I really like the background and the lighting. Awsome job. Also, the way you created the ring of fire was very clever. We have a lot of very talented people around here!

Thanks guys!

I just played around with color and contrast per FBJ's suggestion and re-posted in my original:

On Friday morning, I'm going to sift through and pare down everything that isn't critique. There's only a little, so thanks for sticking to the guidelines for the most part!

I think that this has gone fairly smoothly for a first attempt. There are some things that are just kind of tough to do within the confines of a bulletin board system's thread, but I think once we learned how things worked, it was relatively easy to go back and review new images.

Because I had so much fun with this one, I want to set up a second Challenge right away. I want to see if there's ways I can improve how the everything works, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me ideas for improvement of the Challenge via PM.

Also, if you've got any ideas for Challenge themes, I'd like to hear those via PM, too. Here's a list of what people have already suggested.

Thanks again for everyone's participation! I think this has been a pretty cool way for us all to learn!

Maybe you can talk the rat into rotating the winner's pic on the main page.

Hate to say it but im waaay ready to end "Glass" and move on to challange 2.

personally i was never that pumped on glass being the subject to begin with, hence the lack of photos, however im gonna try to get a couple in more before the deadline

I thought it was a good theme choice. I had fun shooting it. I did have some worries that some of the folks new to the hobby would go, "Glass? **** that that's too hard." But that hasn't been the case. Everyone that's participated has really jumped in with both feet.

I thought the subject was fine. Glass in one form or another is ****ing everywhere, it catches light and colors like a mutha and lends itself willingly to many different representations. It's pretty much endless.




That said, I'm also curious to see what's next....

I have an idea coming up to end the glass contri, but have not had much time to set it up in the last couple of days. I wonder if the Jan 25 deadline is in the AM or PM? 11:59?

being that after work today, I would have more time....

but anyway, great work, everyone! I absolutely cannot single anyone out, so without further ado, your photos are FANTABULOUS!
