Community Photo Challenge- PERSPECTIVE

Photobucket

“A good photo is knowing where to stand.”
~Ansel Adams

Perspective-

Today, digital photography makes easier to try different settings & different angles.
Explore an area & take different shots from different angles. Bringing an object in the foreground can really add to an image.
Remember to be aware of where the light is coming from. This can work with you or against you. Zoom in & out to see what works well with your subject. Try using a ladder or get low on the ground. Tilting the camera is another idea for a fun shot. If you love taking photos of your pet, get down on their level. (Above, pasted & copied from a website)


Here are some examples, CLICK HERE

This Challenge will last for the month of March. It starts today and ends March 31.

Upcoming Challenges...and my activity update...




Hi, all. I know I've been bad about posting and keeping up with things in our challenges and Blogger community in general so Marie thought it would be a good idea to update everyone on my personal 'challenges'. Nothing bad...it's all good, actually. Just time consuming.

Last year, I was elected President of my camera club (Monmouth Camera Club) in New Jersey. Since then, I've been working hard to make the club an exciting experience for every member...and it must be working because we're getting new members at every meeting! One thing I do is work with our events chairman to set up some great trips (Longwood Gardens, Eastern State Penitentiary, DUMBO to name a few) every month. Our February trip was something special--a photo safari to Grand Central Terminal in NYC. This trip included a list of topics for a photo contest that we ran. The photos are posted in a Facebook album and Marie agreed to judge them (THANK YOU Marie!). Well, it was a huge success, we had some very happy members, and now folks are asking for more.

The reason for all this information is that the topics we used are going to be upcoming challenges here on this blog. We're going to have challenges for:
--Motion
--Vanishing Point
--Reflections

Check out the album of images from our club to get an idea of how the members responded to these topics:
And...be prepared for the next few challenges!
