My goodness, there are so many great ideas to choose from. I am going to vote for NIGHT because there are so few night photos displayed in the gallery. It gives me the impression that not many of us try night photography and therefore it would truly be a challenge to us. This seems like a great oppotunity for us to improve our skills and bounce our ideas and knowledge of one another. Plus with it nearly being summer the evening temperatures will be perfect for being out. Just my humble opinion, of course :)

MzQt - I second your humble opinion and vote for night. I have several night shots and love to take them at anytime of year.

"Plus with it nearly being summer the evening temperatures will be perfect for being out"...ehem...it is NOT nearly summer everywhere...some of us live in the southern hemisphere you know, and it's getting rather chilly down here!! ;-)>

Punkclown, you are right, I stand corrected. Be sure to dress warm (hehe) ;D

OK I vote for emotional nights. Just kidding. I love night shots myself. Thing is that I actually got a job! I start on June 2nd so I won't be getting out very often after dark. But I will be getting a paycheck! Night definately Night. Magick Michael

I gotta go with night as well...it's something I've never really tried and sounds challenging, so night for me.

I will have to vote for night, since that seems to be the only time I have free lately. Why couldn't I be wealthy and not have to work. Darn my luck

I'm all for motion, but only because I have some really cool aircraft images :-D By the way, that makes two 'Britt's on Renderosity! Britt

only cuz 'chelle said please...several times... night would be a good challenge- ...if it was chosen, can we use flash? or some kind of natural luminousity?...would like to see something different besides light trailers though... that would be tough

@Cynlee.....and anyone else who's concerned.... Don't worry! I think that this will be very open to interpretation. Use your imaginations! Remember Night does not mean pitch black, low light also qualifies, and you must have light in order to take a picture onto film or CCD! Don't forget that we have an excellent tutorial in the Resource Center written by Rork, which is very useful to help with this. Think out of the box ... NIGHT is just a word. Hmmmm....

Punk, no worry! Its not that cold in Oz! The image in the banner up above, it was 36F (2.5C) when I took that. and "The Ben", when I took that [http://www.zhounder.com/photogalleries/placesg1_137.htm] it was a whopping 22F (-6c). The sacrifices we make for our art!

Hey PC....vacation doesn't mean 'summer' ;) How about people with suitcases, airplanes taking off, etc ? :)
Akinom posted Wed, 28 May 2003 at 12:59 PM
hey... I vote for night too, though I haven't done much night shots... think it could be very inspiring to see all the interpretations!
jacoggins posted Wed, 28 May 2003 at 2:44 PM
hmmmm......night, abstract, blue, circle? decisions, decisions! seems as though night is getting a rather large lead quickly, but I still would like to see a lot of the folks on here who tend to shoot "normal" images think WAY outside the box and try abstract, so I will throw my vote to ABSTRACT.....

I vote for silence or quiet Perhaps for alone!!! Yes, yes, ALONE! Bsteph

Light, Abstraction, Water, Night, Movement, Blue, Circles... funny idea the challenge.
Michelle A. posted Fri, 30 May 2003 at 5:52 AM
Well I'm going to throw my vote for night too...since I think it will be interesting. @enax don't go taking pictures of blue circles on the water at night in any abstract way just yet.... :~) I'll announce the start of the challenge in a day or so, and chances are it will simply be NIGHT....since that is by far the one that is ahead right now..... 12 for night 3 for abstract 3 for emotion 3 for vacation 2 for motion 1 for silence/alone....whatever ya wanna call it!
