Competition 4

Hi guys!

Competition 4 is up and running. Our topic for this comp is:

Leading lines

Remember:
1.) Leading line should be clearly visible
2.) Line should 'lead' the eye through the photo
3.) If possible line should lead up to a subject
4.) If the leading line IS the subject, there should be VERY little to distract the eye

A few website with examples (some better than others ;-) ):

Good luck and enjoy the loooooooooong weekend!

Competition 3

Hi guyz!

Competition 3 is also up and running in conjunction with competition 2. The topic for competition 3 is:

Minimalism

The guidelines you can use are: 

1.) Contrast using Textures and/or colours

2.) ONE clear subject
3.) Background - One colour, shape, texture, out of focus, etc.

3.) Rule of thirds

4.) Get in as close as possible

5.) Lighting to enhance contrast

6.) Try to use everyday objects

You can see some AWESOME examples here:

If you need any guidance, feel free to ask.

I have extended the due date for Competition 2 to the first week of next term. Competition 3 will be due in the second week of the term. This should give you enough time to find 2 decent photographs.

Good luck and enjoy! Happy snapping!
