What They Don't Know... Simple challenge: photos in which something is going on "behind someone's back", or otherwise unbeknownst to them. Either they don't know it's happening, aren't paying attention or maybe don't even care. Or maybe it's about to happen TO THEM and they don't suspect a thing! A chance for some humorous, spontaneous and surprising images. If there are people in the shot (which is likely) try to capture facial expressions which help tell the story.
Starts: Sunday, 22 Nov 2009
Processing rules: No composites
Capture date rule: No restrictions
Additional rules: Avoid staged shots, or even ones that look staged. If I suspect the shot is staged, I will disqualify it-but allow for discussion on resubmitting the shot (I'm not perfect in judging such things of course).
Film Noir Neon at night Great or simple neon signs in the lonely night. Go for the desolate mood of a great 40's noir movie. The dominant light source must be neon.
Starts: Sunday, 22 Nov 2009
Processing rules: Please don't over-cook the image. Keep the mood. Color or B&W. Film grain and noise might be helful.

Sony Alpha Only - Slow Shutter - Hand Held Steady Shot INSIDE stabilisation is a feature on all alpha cameras, helping both reduce camera shake and allow you to use much lower shutter speeds without ruining your images. It also opens up a whole world of creative flexibility. In this challenge we are looking for the best hand held image that shows use of a slow shutter speed.

Processing rules: Only minimal post processing please.

My own backyard From the grand to the sublime, we will shift our focus from volcanoes to the natural world in your own backyard. Defining "backyard" (a North American term) for the world is a bit difficult as not everyone has a "backyard" or "back garden". So let's define it and make it the same for all: the photos entered into this challenge must be made within 10m of your primary residence (your home, not your cottage!). The photos must also be of naturally occurring subjects or phenomena. In realistic terms, this may also include garden plants and animals but no people, swings or sprinklers, please!
Starts: Thursday, 26 Nov 2009
Processing rules: To keep with the character of the "Art of Earth" series, only minimal processing may be used to correct exposure and white balance and create black-and-whites. No radical shifts in hue/saturation and no composites, please.
Capture date rule: No restrictions
Additional rules: I reiterate: the photos entered into this challenge must be made within 10m of your primary residence (your home, not your cottage!).
