Hi Guys
Sorry I've not been around for a while - "that" time of year when there just aren't enough hours in the day.
Anyway, camera is back out and I'm looking for a bit of help. At our camera club we do a major project each year - 20 images on a subject of our own choosing. Last year I did "Signs of Aging". This year I was planning to do "Solo" but one of our given subjects is solitude and some of the ideas I've had overlap quite a bit.
So, anyone got any bright ideas? I'm looking for something a little off the wall, but that has a lot of option (need 20 images, so I'd like to be able to think of at least 40 for the chosen subject).
That project will keep you very busy-hope you enjoy it and it turns out well for you. Look forward to seeing some of the photos later on. _________________ happy 50th birthday - motown records
I was thinking colour too - well, colour wheel, but I'd have to go round 3 and a bit times (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and back to the start) - or 3 times and 2 B&Ws (being the absence and presence of all colours IYKWIM).
The virtues, I like that. Wouldn't know where to start mind! Probably a good thing (out of the comfort zone) so will give that one some serious thought too.
I remembered last night (why do we forget these things) that colour and contrast (light against shade, sharp on blurred, opposing colours etc) are my big things in a photo, so I'm hoping to run that through the 20 images to hold it together in a style.
How about camping out for a day with a tripod, sandwiches, batteries and taken a shot every X mins for 24hours? _________________ --

This is an EXCELLENT idea....... something that i'd like to do myself one day.
something i'd look at too is "man's impact on the landscape" - living in UK, farming and development ought to keep you busy for a long time...... I'm thinking rugged landscapes with a road cutting through it, a stone wall fading into the distance, sheep / goats / cows etc keeping the grass short next to some untouched fell land, peoples rubbish in the woods, polluted rivers / streams, concrete city scenes, smoke, recycling depot etc etc....
Any help? _________________ Bring on the snow, for I feel the need to ride.....
Peteski - would you do a series of the same image x times or different images in the same location? Just curious as to what you had in mind when you said that.

Same location, same composition, the end result would show the way the scene changes with light pre-dawn, dawn, morning, midday, afternoon, dusk, night.
You'd have to pick somewhere that would have enough features to show the differences of no light, soft and harsh light.
