project ideas

Looking for ideas for projects for upcoming months.
This months was totally off the top of my head but seems to be working rather well.

This is your chance to get the projects you'd like to work on and see what others do with it.

Might make a poll out of it if enough ideas come in.

Thank you!

Civilization Without Art.


What would it look like?

Doors - I love Doors.....

I've seen contests on doors - and there are works of art on doors.

That could be a project - or challenge. :D

Great ideas opus and Liz.

Keep them coming folks.

Is there any list of the last years projects? I don't want to suggest anything that's been done already.

I'd list them for you but being a bit lazy right now.
If you open the project forum and scroll down, its pretty easy to see what the project was for a year or more if you go to page two.
Besides, nothing saying we can't repeat if enough are interested

Framed !

Using framing in the taking of the photo, not mat and frame afterwards.

Balls !

Any kind of ball; concrete ball street architecture, golf balls, footballs, gobstoppers, mothballs, prom balls, bath soap balls, buckyballs ...

Pinhole photography. You could make a pinhole "lens" for your DSLR or make your own pinhole camera. You can find some free templates here.

Amazon.com also has some pinhole cameras you can buy and put together yourself.

Pinhole photography is a nice project, but I'm not sure I want a hole in the front of my DSLR to get dust in !

Water, Air, Fire, Earth, either together or as individual projects :)

Thought of another -- Imperfection

I was thinking about Anger as an interesting project, Beauty could be nice viewing too.

Fences, Fog, Angles,Paths,Industrial,Motion,abstract

GREAT idea! (maybe because that covers a lot of my images!). :D

All kidding aside, this is a very creative idea.......

There are many ideas that come to my mind with the word "imperfection. It could be the "subject" matter that is imperfect - or the shot - or the photographer. A beautiful image with just one thing "imperfect" that might ruin it for some (like telephone wires over the most striking part of the photo).

Can you tell how much I like this idea? It just put all kinds of ideas into my head. It would be a fun topic.

Well, the above is your "official" ad for your idea! :thumbsup:

LOL, thanks Liz. That's what I liked about it... there'd be a high level of interpretation for the photographer :)

Mechanical things.

Loving all the ideas, folks. Well except maybe the pinhole but if people want it I'll do it.
All these ideas keep me from having to think.

How about candid facial moods (eg the subject doesn't know your taking the shot), photo's that exhibit a feeling from the subject, something like these as examples:

Here is a way to make a digital pinhole camera, without opening your camera up to dust.

You left out the instructions, Mike.

Ooops! I have added the link.

What about something along the lines of, Outside My Front Door.

Maybe pictures taken from your front/back porch or within the vicinity. With the nice weather upon us I am sure there is a lot of activity going on right outside your window.

Chairs. I love chairs.

Love the door/front porch idea, too!

We did doors in September.

So I went and checked out the door project -- cool!

I got a few ideas. I don't know if it will work well or not. How about lens flare? Or shopping windows it seems like theres always something cool happening in shopping windows especially at night.

Good ideas LightBright.
Lens flare is an interesting one as most try to avoid it but I've seen some nice stuff using it purposfully.

How about Wheels
:)

Wheels seems good too.
I shoot them pretty regular, especially if they have hubcaps with reflections.
Thank you, Nicci.

How about "Twists and Turns"?

Frog, here's another,

"There's a hole in the bottom....."

Do you sea?:D

as long as there isn't a flea on the fly on the frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the pond :mad2:

How about Letters and/or numbers?

Angles or Angels

How about just that, Reflections

James

I like also the door/front porch idea.

I'll throw "blurry" into the mix.

the 7 deadly sins:)

How about just plain Spring?

Yes, I'm happy spring is finally (although slowly) getting here.
