As Zpyder won the last competition, he has decided on the below:
To define "Experimental" in terms for this competition:
Unconventional photos, be it a different technique or subject, the aim of this theme is to get everyone trying something new. For some members it might just actually be entering a photo which is new, but for the more photographic members Id like to think they will get creative and try something new!
Id like people to consider the whole photo and the process involved to get it when voting too. A photo might look really good, but in terms of how experimental the photographer got with it, it might be quite basic. Obviously though, the best looking photo that uses the most experimental method etc should win.
Things I am thinking/hoping people with think of: Light painting, different materials (reflections/lenses etc), post processing (if its allowed?), abstract (but not just macros of keyboards etc!)
Things I am hoping wont be submitted, as theyre just too easy...high-speed shots freeze framing things like water droplets or things in flight etc, macros of day to day items, they may look funky, but its hardly experimental.
Entries to be received by close of play 3rd July
Voting starts on the 4th and closes COP 10th July
Have decided to use the 4 weeks photography and 1 week voting as I had mentioned before, rather than month end, as we dont normally manage to meet month end and sooner have a litle extra time for taking photos to allow everyone to take part! Any objections and Ill change it
