Challenge 6: The Wide : Open

Well, as it’s holiday season and people may have more time on their
hands, I’ve decided to go for an open round.

Rather than being tied by a theme, you are now tied by a format.

The subject matter can be anything you like. Shoot your favourite
things. Shoot your favourite places. Shoot your favourite people.

With this proviso….

The format of your picture must be widescreen, wide ratio,
panoramic, whatever you like to call it. I want see pictures that
are not the usual 4:3 or 3:2 ratio. Dig out that stitching program,
or crop unusually.

Whatever you do, you should be thinking outside of your normal
viewfinder. An exercise in alternative composition. Easy eh?

Landscapes make a natural choice for this type of picture, and
holidays give us more time to get out and about. But I don’t just
want to see these. Shoot something you wouldn’t normally do in this
format. Just make it eye catching. Impress everybody. Use the open
subject to be creative!

Exhibition category may have you revisiting some previous works.
Try a different crop of something you shot last year. Maybe a
composite montage. Whatever you want.

Just have fun for holiday season OK.

Additional help page here http://www.imageattic.net/pbase_howto.htm

• Previous participants may use the Login and Password from

Challenge 5

• If you are new and do not know the userid and password, please

e-mail one of the password holders at [email protected] Please
allow a few hours to receive that information.

• IMPORTANT: Please respect our Pbase bandwidth and ensure that

your photos are no more than 150K in size.

• Photos now have no limit on dimensions provided they fall within

the 150 kilobyte limit, but bear in mind that the most popular

accordingly. Viewers are more likely to appreciate your work at its
original size without the use of scroll bars!

first-serve sequence of the gallery. You may update one of your

materially changed (PBase supports this function on the “Edit
Image” page).

• Photo by photo, please share your comments with your colleagues.

Challenges reach their full potential when the dialogue becomes as
important as the photos themselves.

photos should mark their title(s) with an asterisk ( )

If you have problems or concerns uploading add a post to this thread.

Each submitted photograph should include...
1. Your Name

What a welcome back! I'm into work this morning and started up the computers and have been scouring the threads and galleries.

This is so funny!

(Anyone who doesn't get the joke here should check my galleries Unfortunately at time of writing they are down for a few days)

Well taken pictures as well!

I should be more active now. Christmas really took it's toll on me and I had to have some time out. It just worked out that way, it wasn't planned.

Joe became resident bumper during my slack period!

Just got to see if I've got time to enter my challenges now. I did little more than snapshots over the hols. Good to see other people being more creative!

Just a temp bumper, a substitute bumper. Not on the first string, nor even the varsity squad. A lowly stand-in...

Alas. I hope I did my job well.

I do note that by Lonnitary standards, you've been rather quiet. Cat got your tongue (-er-) keyboard? :-0

I'm giving you a standing ovation as we speak. Is there just nothing you are not good at? LOL!

LOL! Nope, camera's got my eyeball! LOL! I'm actually trying to get caught up on processing the pix I've already taken. Of course I can't resist grabbing the camera and shooting more of the kids which just gets me deeper under the pile. I'm starting to get the hang of the flash. You might say a light just went on! LOL!

For flash practice I ended up interrupting myself with these...







I think this one is a bit Rockwelll again! LOL!
