*** Topics needed for the November Photo Contest *** |
|
Since superconnected is massively tied-up with training for her new job this week, she has asked me to run the topic-selection process for the November contest.
Therefore, I am opening this topic for suggestions, with a cut-off of Tuesday evening, or whenever we get ten suggestions, whichever comes first. I'll put up a poll no later than early Wednesday morning, to be kept open through Thursday evening. This should give everyone around two weeks (and at least two weekends) of shooting time, once the theme has been announced.
For reference, the top runners-up in last month's topic poll were:
Surrealism Stillness Cats vs. Dogs Fire or Fireplaces
If we get fewer than ten suggestions, I'll fill the poll out with those topics in the order above.
So, let's hear your suggestions!

1. I'm new to the Photo group. |
|
I'm just getting into photography with my digital camera, so I'm sure my pics will be amateurish compared with the ones I've seen here.
If my vote counts, I'd like the cat vs. dog simply because I have pets.

4. Of course your vote counts! |
|
WE don't create barriers to voting, like some groups (cough, cough, Repukes) I could name.
Welcome! :hi:

5. Will the contest prelims/finals be starting in GD this month? |
|
Just wondering....
ideas:
Hands doing something or just idle
Black and white with one color element only
Rocks (big, small, alone, in groupings)
Abstracts of body or facial features

6. Voting for Cats & Dogs again |
|
But I like most of the other new suggestions, too.
I don't like the Black and white with one color element. That's advanced photoshop, and thus very exclusionary for people with no interest or skill or access to tht kind of program. It would be interesting for a photo challenge, but not one of the contests. imho.

Surrealism would be interesting just to see what people come up with.

Not pure duotone silhouettes necessarily, but photos where the main subject is in very high (natural) contrast to its surroundings.
If this doesn't fit neatly into a poll choice, then here's an alternative: shadows.

10. I count NINE choices... |
|
Cats vs. Dogs Red Depth of Field Hands Black and white with one color element only Rocks Body or facial features Insects or spiders Silhouettes
Therefore, I'll close the thread and post the poll as soon as we get one more suggestion.

Anything that shows an emotion, like an expression on a person or animal. Or, is that too vague?

Do you mean a photo of someone or something displaying an emotion, or do you mean a photo that generates an emotion?

14. I meant displaying emotion. But mountains are probably better anyway! |

13. Actually, I'm going to short-circuit the procedure... |
|
...and propose "mountains" as the final suggestion.
I'll have the poll up shortly. Thanks to all for coming up with so many options in such a short time-span.

I can't wait to see what you (non-gender specific) guys come up with for the next contest.
