My Everyday Life

JUDGED Category

Take a Landscape photo in B & W or transform a photo into B & W.
 You can sepia tone the image, frame it, but keep in mind when framing, not to take
 away from the image. 

First photo in the entry is what will be judged in our JUDGED Category.  You may enter in both categories, but only once in each.  They also must be different photos, not the same image.
All entries need to be posted by Friday, May 2nd, 7 PM EST.

Please follow our guidelines & leave a link back to our challenge journal.  Also, leave your permalink, which the instructions are on the sidebar.


Helpful links to Landscape Photography, are below.  Also check out Greg's journal, link on sidebar. 

10 tips on Landscape Photography-

10 Really Good Landscape Photography Tips

Dead center
I have noticed a tendency among new photographers, and some older ones to center the main subject every shot. Try some different compositions and positions. Finish the shot. Don't be in a hurry.
 
Simplify the photo
A lot of scenic/landscape photos are just plain busy. In an effort to cram every detail in, we lose sight of the main attraction. Emphasize the main point and eliminate the unimportant. Less is more

Have a blessed day everyone. Helen

  Hi Helen...just want to thank you for all your lovely comments lately on my journals :)  And I was checking out some of your recent entries and LOVE that lily of the valley picture!  Just love how those flowers turned out green.  Did you take all those photos?  They are just awesome.  Do you take photography classes?  Those pics look like they should be in a magazine :)

     This is such a great photo; there is such a contrast of textures, angles. and lines.
     I didn't get around to an entry ... I'm just in awe of your photo.

  HELEN,  THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL OLD BRIDGE. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW OLD IT IS.
       ANOTHER MUCH LARGER ROCK BRIDGE IS THE 'EADS' BRIDGE ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER FROM ST.LOUIS MISSOURI TO EAST ST.LOUIS ILLINOIS.
      YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE COMPUTER.
    IT IS VERY OLD AND VERY MUCH IN USE EVEN THO THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS.     sam
