APUG Photo Challenge - Mar 2005 Suggestions and Discussion Thread

[rogueish]

Jeremy has some good ones.
While DrBob's "winters past" is a good one, it wouldn't work to well for our amigos on the southern hemisphere or in the tropics. Although sno cones and icecream come to mind.
Ole's "close" is interesting too. One word, two meanings...

I would like to suggest geometry. The subject of the picture should should be geometrically shapped and only one shape dominates the photograph.

or line
Choose a line and photograph it.

i find this interesting

I also dig Mark's geometry suggestion, for some reason I must have missed it when I went through the first time.

Someone just resurrected the "Locations done to excess" thread, and SchwinnParamount just pointed out a good Lenswork audio blog by Brooks Jensen (thanks SchwinnP). Jensen points out that no place has been overdone if it's the first time you've seen/photographed it...and that even Einstein said that he never would have gotten where he had if he hadn't "stood on the shoulders of giants"...so how about: "On the shoulders of giants" as a topic?

Funny - I had three before I wrote it, and have found two more.

Contre-jour(french) is a commonly used (photographically) term meaning 'Against the light' and is usually associated with shooting images with camera pointing towards the sun. Hope that helps
