Time For a Challenge

February 22nd, 2008 by Iain · 4 Comments

I was just reading this month’s Digital SLR Photography magazine and they have launched their “Photo Excellence Awards 2008″ competition. As I’ve got so much time on my hands ;-) I’ve decided to give it a go. Being, as I am, a total novice, this will be a real challenge. But the way I see it, it will force me to try out new types of photography and I’m bound to learn something along the way. Who knows, I might even win a 450D…

I’m in at the deep end though, as the first month’s subject is food :shock: I’ve always maintained I have zero levels of creativity so this could be interesting :mrgreen:

The big question is, does anyone fancy joining me in this? Dad? Scott? Stephen? Be brave! :-P

    I might give it a go. I have some food related shots on my flickr account. Here is one http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjdarlington/541205478/in/set-72157600340026559/. Not the most inspiring topic for a first round.

    I might give it a go if I can find the time (!). Haven’t seen the magazine so you will have to let me know what the assignments are (by email or SMS ) whilst we are on our travels.

    I’ll probably give this a miss to be honest as any food I see doesn’t stick around long enough for me to photo! ;) :D

    Ok, Dad, will do. :-)

    :lol: @ Scott! Why doesn’t that surprise me? ;-)

    I guess I should have said that in order to be in with a chance of the bit prize at then end of the year you need to have “passed” each round. So it’s probably worth a bit of a go.
