April 2012 Photo Assignment
Flowers.
Generic? Yes, but it's springtime, and I know that every one of you has something blooming in your yard, and everyone photographs things differently. I want to see each person's creativity in how we shoot basically the same subject. Rules: You must be the photographer, and it must be taken this month. Use whatever camera you have with you at the time. You may submit several images to get feedback, but by the deadline you must edit it down to one for the voting poll. Photo manipulation of contrast, brightness, color, sharpness and crop are allowed. "Chopping" something into the image is not allowed. HDR is not allowed. ( I suspect there will be an HDR assignment in the future. Save that technique for that assignment please) Use of Smart phone apps are not allowed unless used for the standard manipulation listed above. No borders, filters etc. (Again, another assignment) Deadline for submissions will be 11 PM EST April 27th. |

I never expected these to live. They looked horrible and puny, when I planted them.
