MARCH 2017 Assignment: Stairs, Steps or Ladders

"Stairs, Steps or Ladders" Any photo that contains one, two or all: Stairs, Steps or Ladders . Use your creativity and show that special, unique or beautiful means of climbing up in the world using some stairs, steps or a ladder. Your imagination can go wild on this months theme. Maybe someone using a ladder because they heard "drinks were on the house." OK, bad joke, but you get the idea.

HOW you create it is up to you. The idea is to challenge you to think outside of the box. Be creative and artistic for this one. Set it up, stage it, enhance it in post processing, or just get lucky. Your creativity is limited only by your imagination.


IMPORTANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING:

There ya go, let's get shooting! CREATIVITY/TECHNIQUE rules in this challenge, but there are a few guidelines:


1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken using a Nikon Camera!

2. All submissions must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by YOU! (Please insure that EXIF is either posted with the photo or if it gets messed up, hold yourself to the honor system and add the minimum Exif data of the Camera used and the date the photo was taken to your post)

3. Obviously, for this challenge, your photo must contain something with "Stairs, Steps, or Ladders." Other than that, it's all up to your interpretation of the theme. Any photo will be accepted, SOOC or edited, doesn't matter.

4. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr or similar links)

5. Only THREE entries per member for each assignment. Please post entries separately (1 photo per post) and number the entry.

6. Entries will be judged by the number of likes received.

7. The top 5 shots will be displayed in a separate thread, and will be displayed in no particular order.

8. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.

As listed in other challenges, please note: NO CASH OR PRIZES will be awarded for this Monthly Assignment.

HAVE FUN, can't wait to see the results!

Thanks Marilynne. I depend on you to keep me straight. Ha! I even skimmed over the rules knowing that I needed to change something every time, but didn't see it. I'm going to blame it on doing it late at night, or maybe it is that I'm getting old, or it was the computer's fault, or................................................
Ha!

If I'm not mistaken, this one missed the deadline by five minutes.

You are right if we are using Universal Time, but here isn't anything in the rules of the monthly assignment that states Universal Time is what we go by. There isn't a sticky like the weekly assignments either. Maybe because it is an assignment and not a contest?

I agree, nothing in the rules states time.
@cwgrizz - do the rules need to be modified for time?

Yes they do. I think originally it was mentioned that the pictures had to be taken during the month.
It was a challenge specially created so participants would go out and shoot for the challenge, not that they go through their files to find a subject matching the challenge's description.

The EXIF shows the capture time which is about 6:30 PM March 31. It was posted late but perhaps the powers that be could look the other way this time?

I agree about the shot being taken during the current month, but I don't see where time is mentioned in any of the rules. I know the weekly challenge states universal time.

Hopefully the additional statement I placed in the April rules will clarify and help to avoid questions regarding time in the future.

Thanks for all who have participated in the monthly assignments. Hopefully they add to your photography enjoyment by giving you some direction for shooting each month.
