Planning your 'sevens' landscape challenge entries
Nov 28, 2018

1 Monochrome - 4 December 2018
Monochrome landscape photographs, please! (Monochrome means black and white, or a single colour.)
2 Urban landscape - 11 December 2018
Photograph a scene (a space) in a city or town. It may be vast or microscopic, or anywhere in between.
I may disqualify shots I consider 'street photography' rather than 'urban landscape’.
3 Classic landscape - 18 December 2018
Capture the beauty and variety of the natural landscape. An iconic view; a view along a cliff-side or rolling hills; a view down a valley; a forest skyline or snow-capped peaks; maybe showing the drama of our seasons. Recognisable and memorable; a true classic.
Human-made structures and people should not be significant elements in the image. (Images with artificial structures can go in next week’s challenge ‘Human Landscape’.)
Minor digital adjustments only please – the physical integrity of the image must be maintained.
The integrity of the subject must be maintained and the making of physical changes to the landscape is not permitted. You may not, for example, remove fences, move trees or strip in the sky from another image. Digital adjustments including dodging & burning, changes to tone & contrast and cropping are allowed, as are High Dynamic Range imaging techniques, stitched panoramas and focus stacking.
4 Human landscape - Christmas day - 25 December 2018
Show a landscape that shows the influence of people. Buildings, roads, ruins can all be elements in your image. But people should not be significant elements (they can be next week, in the ‘Living in the Landscape’ challenge).
5 Living in the landscape - New Year’s Day 2019
Show people using, enjoying the landscape. Climbing, running, cycling, paragliding, walking the dog. Document the interaction between humans and nature.
6 Seascape - 8 January 2019
The sea, or another large body of water, must be an important element in this landscape photograph. Boats, ships and people must not be significant elements in your image.
9 Your view of the landscape - 15 January 2019
Give your personal interpretation of the landscape - and when voting, reward creativity and originality - this is not a challenge for conventional landscapes that could have fitted comfortably in one of the earlier challenges in this series.
Photoshop encouraged, particularly in this last installment! Rearrange the landscape as much as you wish!
