One of These Isn’t Like the Others
For this competition we want you to
compose great shots where something needs to be different or out
of place among the others. A collection of items where you get
impact by having one item similar, but totally out of
character. Show us good photography skills. Composition is a
MUST. |

Peeping Tom
No you are not going to stand outside your
neighbor’s window! You need to find things to shoot through
that are NOT photography equipment. Have you ever held
your sunglasses up in front of your lens? Shooting through
gauze, a knot hole in a fence, a partially open door or even a
key hole will show us that you are thinking about filtering
without photo filters. Remember to create effects that enhance
the subject and show your genius creativity. Remember to send
in images that will score well with the Technical, Impact,
Composition scoring method.

Make something very ordinary look
extra-ordinary.
How? By using a UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
OR ANGLE OF VIEW. The name of the image should name the
original ordinary item. Look up, look down, look all around and
show us something new, unique and special. As always you need
to remember the basics of exposure, composition, and everything
that makes a good photo.

IT AIN’T WHAT YOU THINK.
Show us something abstract. Try a macro
lens or maybe a new camera technique. Think outside the box and
show us something that makes us wonder, then let the title tell
us what we are looking at.

DRIPS, DROPS, SPLISHES and SPLASHES.
Catch a drip leaving a faucet or impacting a dish. Catch a
drip from an icicle or maybe milk splashing in a cup. This may
involve setting up a mini-studio in your kitchen. Show us
control of your shutter speed by catching the drip and also show
us your creative side by making it an interesting drip. Think
about reflections in your drips and drops. Don’t like being a
drip? OK – you have a second choice. Shoot a subject that is
substantially immersed in a liquid. As always, remember to send
us images that are properly lit, exposed, composed and have the
elements of good photography. Entry

WEATHER or NOT!!
Show us a well composed and properly
exposed image that makes us think about the weather. It might
be the sky that gives it away or we might see the effects of
wind or rain. As always we are looking for well shot images
that meet our scoring criteria. Photojournalist approach will
work if you remember the basics we use for judging.
