Hi guys!
Every month we will have 4 themes for you to post photographs. And if a theme has at least 4 entries/participants at the end of the month we'll do a voting.

Info & Schedule:

• No need to sign up. You can enter a photograph whenever you like the theme.
• You can choose which themes you would like to fulfill
• Themes can vary from being a technique or random themes (if you have suggestions, please PM me )
• Photos need to be yours, either taken by you (unless otherwise stated), or with you in it if the challenge requires that. However it doesn't need to be new (considering the pandemic it's not like we can venture outside)
• You can submit more than one photo for the same theme, but please specify which one you would like to be in the voting (only one photo per person will be in the voting)
• Images larger than 800 pixels in width should be posted as thumbnails/post text links/put it under spoiler tags
• Please don't double post unless it has passed 24 hours
  
• The theme will be posted on the 1st of each month. Once the new themes are posted the previous are not valid anymore

If you have any other questions feel free to contact Paula or Si.

Exciting! Photography rocks

[Evie]

So let me get this straight, no photoshopping allowed but some of you have awesome cameras that capture light/colour more effectively than others and that's alright?

first of all, it doesn't matter who has what kind of camera, you just have to figure out what settings to use on yours... I only use my normal every day digi cam as well, not my prof one. Like Jessie said on the photography thread, check out the settings other people use on flickr or check for settings for your cam online... See this as a good chance to try out new things
and furthermore, not using photoshop is not a general rule... it's just the rule for this challenge... there will also be challenges where you will be allowed to use photoshop, so don't worry

[Evie]

I know my way around my camera, so I know its limitations.

By photoshopping I meant just brightening pics, that's about it....we're gonna be able to use PS in later comps, that strikes me as odd..

[Tina]

Evie: Some people use PS to colorize, brighten, or add text to their photographs. This is their preference. You do not have to do it when there is a challenge where you can use PS.

I havent quite decided if I'm going to participate in this challenge or not, but photography rocks for sure

[Tina]

Kayla: I hope you decide too!

[indigo sunrise]

What if you shoot raw? are you allowed to change any of the settings then, or do you have to leave it completely untouched?

I'm talking about brightening photos in this challenge. It baffles me that it's not allowed. I am all for photoshopping in pics, just not adding text & effects to them, that's not photography to me, but again personal opinion. Doing challenges down the track where you can photoshop text etc onto pics, isn't that pretty much a fanart competition?

Photography rocks.

[Tina]

Evie: When I was talking about text, I was talking about how people add their username (stealing purposes) to the photographs. And I was just talking in general. Honestly, what people do in PS, they can also do behind the camera. I also do understand that all cameras don't give out the same quality, but all should have a thing where you can brighten/darken the picture right then and there.

Val: I honestly I have no clue. I hope Jule can answer for you. Sorry.

Evie:
When it says no editing then there is no editing (if you decide to enter a b/w then you are allowed to use PS to turn the pic b/w if your camera doesn't have a b/w setting). challenges are to see how people can work with their camera... that's the challenge everyone can take pic, drag it in some some programm and brighten it or whatever.
And in futur challenges it might say "contrast changes allowed" or "color changes allowed" or whatever... who knows, it always depends on the challenge Just see it as a challenge to to try your best without photoshop... this is supposed to make fun

Val:
I don't really know what shooting raw means if you explain, I can answer
