As you know, I try to enter contests every month (that didn't work out so well last month). I don't participate in photo challenges, though. But what are they?
Well, from what I can tell, they're like contests, but with a very specific focus. So as an example, contests can be about a subject like macro photography, but a challenge might restrict it by subject (one particular object, like a bottle) or colors. Something along those lines.
I came across the following challenge topics earlier today:
Day taken at night
Urban nature
Water bottle
Two colors
Backlighting subjects
i would have entered the two colors one, but it was too late. The backlighting subjects one was really interesting. I found myself digging through my portfolio to see if I had anything that would work. I can't say that it was an easy task, but it was interesting. These pictures seem to fit the bill:
Will I enter any of these? I really don't know. I might. I have until the end of the month to decide. However, learning about the technique, as well as really focusing on my work were activities that were well worth my time.
Tomorrow: A promo offer I received in the mail.
