    Question Photography challenge

    Not much woodworking going on at the moment for me (cause of a buggered shoulder) and seeing as I have just gone halves with SWMBO in a new camera... Im filling in my spare time learning more about taking piccy's

    SO.....I was just wondering if there would be any interest in starting a photography challenge

    I was thinking the theme could be "The shed"...which would mean anything you can think of as long as it relates to "the Shed" no matter how obscure (see: artistic )

    let me know what you think

    cheers

    Thumbs up

    Brown dog, I have had this idea for a long time but never got to start a post. My concept was very similar to yours. The winning entry could be made as a poster for members to buy. Imagine a poster of a dovetailed drawer and a set of chisels on an old workbench. That would be nice.

    We have so many talented photographers here so it could be a goer.

    i am interested, but seeing as how i currently dont have a shed any entry by me would be very obscure or artistic.

    Maybe a different theme each month.
    Then again nearly everyone i know has a shed.

    nahhh!!
    just tilt your LCD monitor back a little til you think the exposure is right on the money.
    Then tilt it all the way back (on your laptop) and it looks solarised. Very cool.

    I think that photo challenge would be great...just a bit of fun.

    I would refer the Honorable member Brown Dog to this competion.
    https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/timber-challenge-ii-pictures-poll-71507

    Entrant No 12 scored 3 votes, out of 20 entries there were only 7 with a higher vote count.

    Now i'm pretty sure i can make a bit of 2x4 or is it 4x2 look better than that even with my very limited shed access.

    In regards to post 11 i do some of my best work at night.

    Cheers Fred

    After looking at Papas and Wheelers pictures I think that picture quality cannot really be judged fairly because it is only the capabilities of the imaging program being used.

    However subject matter can be judged differently and that causes another problem.

    Not against any competiton, but I saw a competition result once in a well known magazine and could not agree the decision, the pic. was pure rubbish could have been taken by a 5 year old, and probably was.

    When I started in photography, it was all done with brushes and
    scrapers and re-photographing and touching up negatives and it
    took hours and sometimes days.

    Now in is done with the click of the mouse and takes seconds.
    With free programs.

    This took about 30 seconds to do, it's not that great, just an example.
