Where's the "OMGz" part of the title? (!)

[purplerose]

Ack! Thanks for the correction! :)

[Mr. Mu]

topic suggestion:

- film noir
- out in the rain
- splatter

[Gentile]

I like the out in the rain idea but it's not entirely fair if people don't get rain the entire time the competition is going so it would be a bit more difficult...

[Mr. Mu]

water hose!

[Gentile]

That's not rain silly! :P
How about just like..water?

[KendraJ.K.]

i dont have any off the top of my head but i think it would be fun to do more technique type challenges. involving lighting or dof or shutter speed or something along those lines.

[Mr. Mu]

that would basically lead me to mentioning the workshops, but frankly those have not been much of a success... do people have an opinion on that?

[KendraJ.K.]

i liked the workshops. they were going on when i was really really busy with school and such but now i have time lol.
if i remember correctly there were a couple workshops that were object/theme based and not technique. we could do it so all technique type ideas are for the workshops and then just do themes like we do now for the challenges?
i dunno if others are interested in that tho.

[Gentile]

What are the workshops? O.o

[KendraJ.K.]

the workshops...
there was a topic, usually it had to do with techniques..i know we did macro and i think we've done a few with lighting.
and yer supposed to take 5 photos( i think )of the same subject throughout the 3 weeks and get feedback and critique on them.
i think that was the overall idea of it, there was probably other small rules i dont remember.

[Gentile]

Oh let's do them!

some topic suggestions. Well, I thought long with the one-or two ord topics it would be nice to have some topics that are about creating certain atmospheres. The title of the challenge should be the title of the image, no further explanation, the images should carry that mood. At the same time, this would be very open, cause I think there are countless different options to reach the goal, from abstract to concrete, from portrait to landscape, whatever.
Just an idea :)
