Sailing Life_IWR

Magazine editorial: Sailing life
Challenge finished on Wednesday, 11 May 2011
The client is a writer looking to illustrate an article on sailing. The article is intended for an upscale publication so it needs slick, professional images. The photos must evoke the feeling of life in AND AROUND sailing boats. Although people can be in the photo, they must not be recognizable (dark glasses may suffice).
Winner:
Patriotic

Typically AMERICAN, as seen by Americans
Challenge finished on Wednesday, 11 May 2011
This challenge is for the American People only... Show us your interpretation of what you think is “TYPICALLY AMERICAN”. This is the first of a series of challenges, where we will be covering as many countries as we can. One country at a time. Let your imagination run wild… it can be the people and their food, their sport, their culture, as long as it is “TYPICALLY AMERICAN”.

B&W at night with CANON DSLRs
Challenge finished on Tuesday, 10 May 2011
****ALL shots must be taken with CANON DSLRs**** The theme here is night and all shots must be B&W, no other form of monochrome allowed! All shots must be night shots. Therefore, they must be taken out-of-doors. The sun must be below the horizon, but, otherwise, twilight or the darkness before the dawn is acceptable. You may turn color photos into B&W but, for my money, nothing beats using the B&W mode on your camera, creatively. To keep things fresh, only shots taken after the Challenge is announced will be accepted, so when processing, be sure that your EXIF is intact. So check that your camera's calendar is correct. And of course, you must use a CANON DSLR.

Pinhole
Challenge finished on Tuesday, 10 May 2011
In honor of the pinhole day [ see http://www.pinholeday.org/ ], a pinhole challenge. Aluminum foil your hole drilled lens cap, use your pinwide gadget, or actually scan your shoe-box made film negatives.... it does not matter how... as long as it is a pinhole.
Winner:
Veil Nebula (NGC6960)

Scientific Photography
Challenge finished on Tuesday, 10 May 2011
Photography is more than just an art form; rather it also has great importance in science, industry, and government. Submit a photograph that has scientific or technological importance: consider astrophotography, photomicrography, or other photos with scientific, industrial, or technological interest. Just because a photograph has scientific interest, that does not mean that it must not be a striking and memorable image in its own right.
Winner:
Life ..

Difficulty
Challenge finished on Tuesday, 10 May 2011
For some reason, at some time, something is not so easy for someone to do. Like reading newspaper for the elderly. Like finding a good job for a graduate. Like the first step for a baby. Show the difficulty in your picture and the one's effort to overcome it.
Winner:
Just married
Leo The Lion
The Songs Of Life: Changes
Challenge finished on Tuesday, 10 May 2011
READ THE RULES! This challenge is all about interpretation: I named it with the title of a popular song (by 2pac), and it will be up to the entrants to determine what the song means to them - and how they can express that with a photo.
Winner:
Hindu temple, Kathmandu

A Pen & Your Signature
Challenge finished on Tuesday, 10 May 2011
Signatures are like pictures. Everybody's is different. Just because you use your classmates or coworkers pen doesn't mean you will get the results they will get. Same thing with a camera. You could use Ansel Adam's camera (or whoever your favourite photographer is, mine's a tie between Ian Hylands, Sterling Lorence and Sven Martin), but that doesn't mean you would get the same picture that they would get. Inspired by Ken Rockwell's article.
