- Try to post only one (or a few tightly related) photos at a time to make it easier for commenters.
- If you post multiples, number each photo so that commenters can refer to individual photos without ambiguity.
- Try to avoid quoting photos, but if you need to, only quote those you're commenting on.
- Please do your best to think critically about then comment on photos posted by others.
- Please keep your criticism constructive.
Prompts:
The goal of this thread is to have a photo thread that is more directed and more comments and criticism oriented than the quarterly thread, but not as directed as the contest threads. So, this is not an assignment thread. Feel free to post any work you'd like in-depth feedback on: no restrictions. Also feel free to come up with ideas for prompts, either technical or creative, for the other workshopping photographers to run with.
The thread will change monthly, which will hopefully be the rate at which I can develop new ideas on possible prompts and actually deliver on them in the first post of future threads.
Candidate prompts I've thought of so far:
-Shooting in RAW: Choose a high DR scene and try to pull as much detail from it as possible with a single exposure via your available in-camera tools and processing workflow.
-Build a small macro studio: There's a good guide over at Strobist that we could follow that doesn't require offboard flash.
-Multiple exposures: Pick a very high DR scene and capture all the DR without halos, posterizing, compression, or any other untoward visual artifacts.
-Black and white conversion: In which we do black and white conversions without once touching a saturation slider. masks, color contrast, etc.
-Street portraits: Walk up to someone you don't know and ask to take their picture.
