The new Q4 2022 Member's Challenge topic is Looking Up or Looking Down. The photos need to be taken between Oct 1 and Dec 31, 2022 This challenge is mostly about composition. The photo should have the perspective of looking up or looking down on your subject – just not straight across. Think about looking up or down at least 45 degrees or more from the horizontal. Examples might include an airplane in flight, or an ant out for a walk, or the full moon overhead. A typical landscape or portrait is not Looking Up or Looking Down. Now you can be really creative. Have fun, Send me up to 3 photos taken during the quarter. Remember, any post processing is allowed. If you add elements from another photo (like sky replacement) those elements must have been photographed by you within the quarter. See the pcqc.org website for a link to the detailed rules. So this is a great excuse to get out and shoot. Have fun & stay safe, Jim See this page for a description and rules. Topics for the next challenges are also listed here. Submit all photos to jimmsp AT outlook.com Q3 2022 Photo Challenge WinnersFirst Place : John Tubbs “Albino Gila Woodpecker” Second Place: Charles Schinner ”Alaskan Mud at Low Tide” Third Place: Shari Rodgers "Under the Sea" The topic was Nature. All of the challenge photos can be seen on our Flickr site on this page. |
