What is your favorite contest theme.

[ohheckyeah]

What was your most favorite contest theme we've had to date? I think mine was sunrise/sunset. I also liked black and white.

1. Shadows.

I learned a lot getting my photo for that contest. I was still new to photography and I worked hard to get a shot I felt good about.

[ohheckyeah]

2. That's a good theme.

I don't believe I entered that one...it may have been before I knew about the photography group.

That theme opens up infinite possibilities!

I like taking photos of things with texture, too.

11. I like shadows, too.

It's fun to play with the light to get the photo you want.

3. Wabi sabi

Not sure of spelling, there.

[ohheckyeah]

4. I had to look it up.

For anyone else unfamiliar with the term:

Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete"

Here's an example:



Thanks for that, NV Whino. That's another avenue to explore!

that information.

6. Light and Shadows

Oh and anything water.

the one I still am not sure I understand was Dystopia

[ohheckyeah]

7. I can take or leave a water theme

but I love light and shadows stuff.

Dystopia is a strange them as technically (according to Webster's) dystopia is an imaginary place.

I would guess it's used to describe someplace unpleasant where people live in squalor, overcrowding, or such. I guess maybe Appalachia, some inner city areas, or tent cities would qualify.

8. Roadkill macros? I like Black and White, but any theme is good AFAIC.

If I don't like the theme, it makes me work harder to capture an image that will work.

10. I kind of like the hard ones best - where I thinkI won't be able to come up with anything!

Then I work harder and learn the most.
BUT
I always like is when we do a color. Because one never knows what will be submitted and it's very exciting to me.
I remember really liking the contest "Green".
