Project 8 - March 2008 Photography Challenge: "Geometry"

**8thgenuser** · 03-02-2008, 02:31 PM

Project 8 - March 2008 Photography Challenge: geometry
Congratulations to our February Photography Challenge winner, arisenfury
As winner of the last challenge, (s)he can suggest the theme of this month's challenge. Also, I'll ask him/her to choose his three favorite submissions, not including his own, for voting. This will keep advanced photographers from winning every challenge and give a chance for someone else to be in the spotlight.

This month's challenge will be: geometry

The rules should be the same as last time:
* Photos submitted without EXIF (metadata) date information will not be eligible.
* Each photographer shall submit only one photograph for consideration. You may post additional photographs after the challenge is complete. If you post more than one photo prior to the deadline, the first photo shall be considered your official submitted photograph. Note: You can change your mind prior to the deadline...just edit your post with the new photograph.
* The photograph shall be a new photograph (no photographs from your archives, please).
* The photograph shall not be majorly altered in a photo-editing program. A watermark for copyright purposes is okay so long as it is not the main focus of the submitted photo. Other acceptable alterations include basic cropping, brightness and contrast. Color and focus adjustments should be made in-camera prior to taking the photograph. Note that I've taken white balance out of the acceptable alterations. White balance can be done in-camera. I apologize to you guys that shoot in RAW, just trying to level the playing field here.
* The theme shall be adhered to, but is open to creative interpretation. Unobvious theme interpretations shall be submitted with a brief description of how the photo relates to the theme.
* Please submit your photograph prior to the end of the month, March 31, 2008

* To note, as the poll was overwhelmingly in favor (<--'Merican spelling this time

) of keeping it level, the rules are staying the same for March.

Nighthawk07 · 03-08-2008, 11:56 AM

well I just got my rebel xt for my b-day, I'm still learning, but I might have a go at this.

**marc-o-lishuz** · 03-08-2008, 12:25 PM

Cool theme

ecosse · 03-08-2008, 12:46 PM

Very cool theme. I couldn't come up with anything for the last one, but I should be able to for this one.

kelmar · 03-08-2008, 12:50 PM

I know the theme is open to interpretation but are you looking for anything in particular or are you really leaving it open to interpretation?

truflip · 03-08-2008, 12:53 PM

Just throwing these out there...
Is this kind of like what you're looking for? :)

I don't really know how to "interpret" Geometry other than shapes and patterns.

bokeh · 03-08-2008, 02:29 PM

I'd say those are geometry..

arisenfury · 03-08-2008, 03:03 PM

I think this is an easy theme for personal interpretations, so have at it. I mean obviously if you're posting a picture of a car on a beach then you'll have to explain the geometry (or lack there of) in it.

When I think of geometry, like Truflip, I think of shapes and patterns. Circles would also be considered, it's not limited to polygons.

truflip · 03-08-2008, 05:07 PM

Awesome, I think i'm set then :)
BTW, here's a bunch of examples for those interested

hzlidqt · 03-08-2008, 07:42 PM

hmm i have some ideas for this time around... neat theme

arisenfury · 03-08-2008, 07:59 PM

I'm hoping this theme brings in some more people as it can be pretty simplistic and it's not limited to equipment or locations.

.jrmyrmx · 03-08-2008, 09:58 PM

nice theme idea! ill have to do some thinking

***GETxERxDONE*** · 03-09-2008, 04:12 AM

Rpm2 · 03-09-2008, 12:46 PM
