Some of you might now that I've been taking a photography class, some might not. Anyway, I really have been wanting teach you all the things I've learned and then give everyone one week to do the assignment and then we "present" them to each other.
Basic rules
1. There are no winners, no voting, no competition. Hence there is no need
to be afraid to post a not-centerfold quality image.
2. Fresh images only, please. Please don't use your archives even if they
match the subject perfectly. The idea is to "go and shoot".
3. Every Friday I will post a new assignment. Everyone will "present" their
project on Thursday. I will remind everyone.
4. You're welcome to participate in the "past" assignments in case you've
missed them, but your pictures still have to be freshly taken.
Meaning: you should only submit a picture that you took AFTER you
became aware of the particular assignment. And since we getting a new
subject each week, it may be a good idea to start fresh and catch up
later.
5. Post processing is OK (in moderation, unless otherwise specified:-).
We all want to see and produce a good looking image regardless of the
assignment subject. Dust removal, distracting objects cloning, curves,
layers...
All in all, process as your heart desires, but try not to cheat: if a
subject is "red", creating a red overlay in PS over a midday seascape is
not considered "rule #1 compliance" :-)
