APRIL 2017 Assignment: Unique Perspective

"Unique Perspective" A photo taken using a POV different from the norm. Through a key hole, through bicycle spokes, very low or very high angle, etc. Let's see something that is not how we usually see things in the photo world.


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[SUP]*[/SUP] 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 "Unique Perspective." 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, Photobucket, 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!

*To clarify times for start and finish of the assignment, it is 0000 UTC/GMT similar to the weekly challenges.

Start/End times… [Re: APRIL 2017 Assignment: Unique Perspective]


*To clarify times for start and finish of the assignment, it is 0000 UTC/GMT the first of the month to start and 2359 UTC/GMT the last day of the month to end.

Is this what you really mean? Ending the window at 2359 would mean that the last minute of the month, from 23:59:00 to 00:00:00, is excluded. The month truly ends at the same moment that the next month begins.

Yes, I really think so. If the picture was taken at the very latest time of what is assumed to be the end of the month (last day), the camera would record Date & 2359. If the camera recorded in the exif data 0000 it would have the first of the next month.

With a month long assignment, is it really worth fussing over 59 extra seconds to take and post a photo. Ha! In the monthly assignments we have tried to keep it as simple as possible. In the weekly challenges, a little while back the time was argued in the opposite way that it shouldn't be 0000UTC, but 2359UTC for the cutoff. It seems to be a no win situation. :unconscious:

After all of this typing and thinking about it, I will go ahead and change the cutoff time to 0000 UTC to keep it consistent with the weekly challenges even though that seems to be a problem there at times too. Ha!!!

Ok, this discussion made my head hurt just a little bit... Kind of made me think of Flies and Pepper just for a second or two. :):confused::encouragement:
